Based in the heart of Addis Ababa, Tariku Metals has built a reputation as a trusted partner for industries requiring reliable and robust materials. We take pride in being your local manufacturer and supplier of high-quality Carbon Steel EN-44 Bars, providing the essential strength needed to power Ethiopia’s growing infrastructure and manufacturing sectors. Our commitment is to deliver not just a product, but a foundation of trust and durability for your most critical projects, ensuring you have the right materials sourced efficiently and supported by our expert team.
The EN-44 grade is known for its well-balanced composition, primarily consisting of carbon, manganese, and silicon, which gives it notable strength and hardness. After undergoing a specific heat treatment process, these bars develop excellent tensile strength and good wear resistance, making them less prone to deformation under heavy loads. This combination of properties means EN-44 bars can handle significant stress and impact, offering a reliable performance that stands up to demanding mechanical applications where both toughness and durability are non-negotiable.

Yes, Carbon Steel EN-44 Bars can be heat-treated to improve mechanical properties such as strength and hardness. Common treatments include annealing, quenching, and tempering, depending on application requirements.
Carbon Steel EN-44 Bars are used in manufacturing automotive components, tools, and industrial equipment due to their excellent toughness, wear resistance, and high tensile strength, making them suitable for heavy-duty applications.
Carbon Steel EN-44 Bar offers high tensile strength (~700-850 MPa), excellent toughness, good wear resistance, moderate ductility, and hardness (~230-290 HB), making it suitable for heavy-duty applications.
You’ll typically find EN-44 bars hard at work in the backbone of machinery and heavy equipment. They are the preferred choice for crafting highly stressed components like gears, shafts, axles, and crankshafts that require a superior level of strength and resistance to wear. This makes them indispensable in Ethiopia’s automotive industry, agricultural machinery manufacturing, and in various industrial settings where durable parts are essential for minimizing downtime and ensuring the smooth, long-term operation of critical systems that drive productivity forward.
