CS Heavy Forgings manufactures customer-specified EN42 forged components for industrial machinery and engineered applications where the drawing requires a higher-carbon steel response to heat treatment.
EN42 is a higher-carbon steel designation often connected with spring and wear-related requirements. It is not automatically the preferred material for shafts, crankshafts or rolls. Buyers should define the applicable standard, hardness, mechanical properties, heat treatment and service conditions so manufacturability can be reviewed correctly.
Review the broader steel grades for heavy forgings guide before comparing material families. Final selection remains the responsibility of the purchaser or component designer and must follow the complete drawing and specification.
Target applications
- Custom high-carbon steel components
- Spring and wear-related forged parts
- Industrial machinery components
- Drawing-specific rods, blanks and forgings
Custom forging and supply options
Enquiries can be reviewed for as-forged, heat-treated, rough-machined or finished-machined supply according to the drawing. State the required material condition, machining allowance, tolerances, surface requirements and inspection stage when requesting a quotation.
Relevant CS Heavy Forgings capabilities include forged product range, forged round bars, forging quality and testing.
Technical information required
- Complete material designation and governing standard

Frequently asked questions
Is EN42 an alloy-steel grade?
EN42 is normally treated as a higher-carbon steel designation rather than being grouped with engineering alloy steels such as EN19 or EN24.
What must be confirmed before ordering EN42 forgings?
Confirm the full material standard, component drawing, heat treatment, hardness or mechanical properties, testing, machining allowance and intended service.
