Operating from the heart of Addis Ababa, Tariku Metals is your reliable partner for high-grade industrial materials. We take pride in supplying robust Carbon Steel EN-42 Bars, a foundational component for Ethiopia’s growing construction and manufacturing sectors. Our commitment is to provide not just a product, but a dependable solution that meets the rigorous demands of local engineers and fabricators, ensuring your projects are built on a foundation of quality and strength that you can trust completely.
The composition of EN-42 steel is characterized by a balanced carbon content alongside elements like manganese, which together give it a reputation for reliable strength and good wear resistance. After a specific heat treatment process, this grade achieves impressive mechanical properties, including a high tensile strength and considerable hardness. This combination makes it a particularly tough material, capable of withstanding significant stress and abrasion, which is why it’s often chosen for components that need to be both strong and durable.
