4140 steel and 8620 steel
Otai exports various tool steel and alloy to more than 30 countries from Europe and America, Middle East, and Asia. Our steel materials meet DIN / ASTM / EN / JIS etc different international standards. Today we will talk about 4140 steel and 8620 steel’s difference and its application.
4140 steel, the steel has good workability, machining deformation of small, anti-fatigue performance is quite good.
On the hardenability of steel, 4140 heat treatment has good strength and good comprehensive mechanical properties, good manufacturability, high yield. The highest temperature is 427 degrees Celsius. 4140 strength, high hardenability, and good toughness, quenching deformation of small, high temperature creep rupture strength, and high. It is used for manufacturing forgings with higher strength and larger tempering cross-section than 35CrMo steel, such as big gear for locomotive traction, supercharger drive gear, rear axle, connecting rod and spring clamp with great load, also can be used for drilling pipe joint and fishing tool of oil deep well below 2000m, and can be used for bending machine mold, etc.
8620 is the structural steel with the hardenability guaranteed by American standard, and the standard is as follows: ASTM A29/ A29m-2015 (hot forged and cold processed carbon steel and alloy steel bar).
It has high hardenability, no tempering brittleness, good weldability, little tendency to form cold crack, good maintainability, and cold strain plasticity. Generally used in quenching and tempering or carburizing state, used for manufacturing small and medium-sized automobile, tractor engine and gear in the transmission system, oil drilling and metallurgy open mine cone bit teeth and teeth body, manufacturing steam turbine gear whole rotor internal combustion engine connecting rod valve section forgings. At the same time, the surface of 8620 steel after carburizing heat treatment has relatively high hardness, wear-resistance, and contact fatigue strength, while the core retains good toughness and can withstand high impact load. It can be used as automobile bearing, spindle, gear, mechanical parts, and other impact-resistant, wear-resistant workpieces.
Otai does not act as a material handler. We possess proprietary technology and continuously iterates. We undertake every order to end and solve customer’s problems without any hesitation on responsibility. When customized special steel is hard to get, Otai settles satisfactorily completely.
