What is 4140 steel

AISI 4140 alloy steel is a chromium molybdenum alloy steel specification widely used in general purpose high tensile steel for components. For example, axles, shafts, bolts, gears, and other applications.

Similar to alloy grade AISI 4130 chrome moly alloy steel but with slightly higher carbon content.

The higher carbon content of AISI 4140 steel gives greater strength and heat treatment capabilities in comparison to AISI / ASTM 4130 alloy steel.

However, it does have inferior weldability characteristics.
