Alloy Steel 4140

Alloy steel 4140 is a versatile low-alloy steel that contains chromium, molybdenum, and manganese. It has a high tensile strength, good fatigue strength, and excellent toughness, making it ideal for use in applications that require high strength and resistance to wear and impact. Additionally, it has good corrosion resistance and can be heat treated to achieve a wide range of mechanical properties. It is often referred to as "chrome-moly" steel.

The normal use cases for alloy steel 4140 include the manufacturing of automotive components, aerospace structures, industrial equipment, and machinery. It is commonly used in the production of axles, shafts, gears, and tooling. Its strength and durability make it a popular choice for heavy-duty applications that require high performance and reliability.
