Strategically located in the heart of Addis Ababa, Tariku Metals has built a reputation as a trusted partner for industry, providing high-quality materials that form the backbone of countless projects. We take pride in our role as a leading manufacturer and supplier, especially of our reliable Carbon Steel EN-9 Bars. These bars are engineered to meet the rigorous demands of Ethiopia’s growing industrial sector, offering a perfect blend of strength and versatility for engineers and fabricators who require dependable performance.
The composition of EN-9 steel is centered around a reliable carbon content, typically between 0.50% and 0.60%, which is key to its strength. This is supported by elements like manganese and silicon. This specific formulation results in excellent mechanical properties, including a notable tensile strength and good hardness. After a simple heat treatment process, it achieves a hardened surface while maintaining a tougher core, making it exceptionally durable and resistant to wear under demanding conditions.
