4140 heat treatment

4140 heat treatment

AWhat we want to share today is the information about 4140 steel’s heat treatment.

B4140 steel responds readily to heat treatment and is comparatively easy to machine in heat-treated conditions.

A4140 steel resists creep in temperatures up to 845° C and maintains its properties even after long exposure at these relatively high working temperatures.

BAfter heat treatment, 4140 steel’s hardness is 54 to 59 HRC.

AHeat Treatment 4140 alloy steel is heated at 845°C followed by quenching in oil.

BBefore hardening, it can be normalized by heating it at 913°C for a long period of time, followed by air cooling.

AThe following is about the prehardened 4140 steel’s flame harden.

B4140 steel is a 1% chromium-molybdenum medium hardenability general purpose high tensile steel.

AIt has generally supplied hardened and tempered in the tensile range of 850 – 1000 Mpa.

BAfter Pre hardened and tempered, 4140 steel can be further surface hardened by flame or induction hardening and by nitriding.

ABy the way, for 4140 steel, we can supply the round bar, steel flat bar, and plate.

BRectangular pieces can be cut from flat bar or plate to your specific sizes.
