What is 4140 steel

4140 steel is a cold drawn annealed steel of relatively high hardenability with its chromium content providing good hardness penetration, and the molybdenum imparts uniformity of hardness and high strength.

4140 alloy steel well to heat-treatment and is relatively easy to machine in the annealed condition. 4140 steel has good strength and wear resistance, excellent toughness, coupled with good ductility, and the ability to resist stress at elevated temperatures. (4140 plate properties)

4140 plate machinability - It also has high fatigue strength

One of our customers Stacy from Indonesia sent us an inquiry for 4140 plate steel. As time is tight, she needs to receive these 18 tons of 4140 steel within 45 days. That’s no problem for us because we keep a daily inventory of 1500 tons.

After the customer placed her order, we prepared his 4140 steel ready this week. We also assisted the customer to find the fastest delivery, and the goods were delivered to the customer in 45 days. (4140 plate machinability)

Steel News

After the implementation of the closure and control, the operation of the Shanghai port terminal has not been affected much at present, and the main thing that will be affected is the truck operation.
Although the blockade does not close the port, the efficiency of port operations and terminal operations will be affected. It is not easy for port workers and truck drivers to enter and leave the port due to the epidemic. This leads to delays in timeliness, and it is expected that the freight will also be increased.
