FAQs

Q: What is the difference between AISI 4140 and DIN 42CrMo4 1.7225?
A: While both are Cr-Mo alloy steels, DIN 42CrMo4 has a slightly wider carbon range (0.38-0.45% vs. 0.38-0.43%) and higher molybdenum content (0.15-0.30% vs. 0.15-0.25%), providing marginally better hardenability.
Q: Is 4140 steel weldable?
A: Weldability is limited due to carbon content (~0.42%). Pre-heating to 200-300°C and post-weld tempering are recommended to reduce cracking risks.
Q: What sizes are typically available for 4140 steel?
A: We maintain large stocks including cold drawn bars (Φ3-Φ80mm), hot rolled bars (Φ16-Φ310mm), and forged bars (Φ100-Φ1200mm) with various length options.
Q: What heat treatment conditions can you provide?
A: We supply 4140 steel in multiple conditions: quenched & tempered, soft annealed, normalized, and can provide custom heat treatment to achieve specific mechanical properties.
Q: What applications are best suited for 4140 steel?
A: 4140 steel excels in automotive components, aerospace parts, heavy machinery components, tooling applications, and any high-stress applications requiring superior strength and toughness.
