EN14 150M19

EN14 150M19

(OP)
I want to make a small guard for a trailer attachment that might experience artic temperatures  -40 degs C.  Will EN14  150M19  bar be OK for this or could it suffer brittle fracture.
What would be an easily obtainable British alternative.
Thanks in advance.

RE: EN14 150M19

150M19 is reasonable as long as the P and S content are not at the high end of the specification.  Levels below 0.015 for both will provide better fracture toughness.  I would make sure that it possesses a fine grain size (ASTM number 6 or better) and has minimal inclusions.  Cold Heading Quality is a general term for steels that meet all of these requirements.
