4140 steel is a kind of alloy structural steel. It belongs to the steel with the American grade equivalent to the 42CrMo grade in my country. This kind of steel belongs to the medium hardenability steel with high yield, good comprehensive mechanical properties, good strength, good toughness and hardenability. High advantages, its carbon content is 0.33%-0.48%, its tensile strength is 795 MPa, and its hardness is 241HB. After heat treatment at 4140, it has good strength and good comprehensive mechanical properties, and it has good manufacturability. Fasteners, salvage tools, etc.

AISI 4140/DIN 1.7225 Introduction:

AISI 4140 alloy steel is chromium, molybdenum, manganese containing low alloy steel. It has high fatigue strength, abrasion and impact resistance, toughness, and torsional strength.

Fabrication and Heat Treatment:

1. Forging

Preheat the steel carefully, then raise the temperature to 1150-1200°C for forging. Do not forge below 850°C.

2. Annealing

Heat the AISI 4140 slowly to 800-850°C and allow enough time for the steel to be thoroughly heated. Cool slowly in the furnace to 480°C followed by air cooling.

3. Stress Relieving

When parts are heavily machined, ground or otherwise subject to cold work, stress relieving will be beneficial prior to hardening.

4. Hardening

AISI 4140 steel is usually supplied ready heat treated to 18-22HRC. If further heat treatment is required annealed AISI 4140 should be heated slowly to 840-875°C and after adequate soaking at this temperature quench in oil. Temper as soon as the tools reach room temperature.

5. Tempering

Heat the AISI 4140 carefully to a suitable temperature selected by reference to a tempering chart or table (usually between 550-700°C, soak at the temperature for 2 hours per 25mm of ruling section, then allow to cool in air. Tempering between 250-375°C is not advised as tempering within this range will seriously reduce the impact value.

6. Surface Treatment

Plate: Origin Black, Orign cold rolled bright, Machined, Grinded

Bar: Origin Black, Orign cold rolled(drawn) bright, Turned, Peeled, Grinded
