4140
Chromium-Molybdenum Steel
- Supplied in the annealed or
prehardened condition.
- The prehardened condition is heat
treated to a medium hardness (HRC 28/32) and is designated as 4140
HT.
- 4140 annealed is supplied in the
soft condition and can be hardened to RC 54.
- 4140 HT is supplied in many forms
such as hot rolled or turned, ground and polished rounds
and DCF plate to be used as a holder material for high
strength structural components.
