AISI 4140 steel is a low alloy steel containing chromium, molybdenum, and manganese. Due to its excellent toughness, wear resistance, impact resistance, and high fatigue resistance, it is widely used in many industries. It is also widely used in the knife and hammer making.

It is an excellent material, and its versatility and practicality are so great that it is used on many axes.

When discussing 4140 steel, it is important to understand what the Numbers mean.

*4 indicates that 4140 steel is molybdenum steel, indicating that it has a higher molybdenum content than other steel.

*1 means 4140 steel contains chromium.

*40 is used to distinguish 4140 steel from other 41xx series steel.

How is 4140 steel made?

AISI 4140 is made by placing iron, carbon, and other alloying elements in an electric or oxygen furnace. The main alloy elements added in AISI 4140 are cr,  mn, molybdenum. Iron, carbon, and other alloying elements are mixed together in liquid form to cool, and then the steel can be annealed.

When the annealing is complete, the steel is again heated to a molten state so that it can be poured into the desired shape.

At the same time, some tools can be used for hot processing, cold processing to achieve the desired thickness.

Of course, other special operations can be added to reduce mill size and improve mechanical performance

Otai company is specialized in the 4140 alloy plate supply, we export the 4140 alloy steel to the worldwide, such as Europe and South America, Asian and Australia, and so on. Otai expects for your cooperation.

OTAI Special steel not only supply the steel plates, blocks, flat and round bar, hexagon, but also the steel sheet, like 4140 steel sheet.

And usually, the 4140 steel sheet thickness we offered is ranged in 3-10mm.And the width size in 1260-1500mm, and the length in coil. And for each coil, the weight is about 20Tons.For our customers, it contains different types, like the stockist, end user and trading company.When we receive the inquiry from our customers, we will find that some customers missed some important info very often.

Here we would like to summarize what are the points very related with the price closely.

1)Size info: Normally, if the length in random length, the price will be lower a lot than the fixed length. Few days ago, I met one customer only show the total length they requested. So fixed length or random length, it is better to make it clear.

2)Quantity, you could advise it in piece or the weight for each item. Some customer will only show the number, but no one can sure that whether it is in piece or Ton.

3)Delivery condition: For this one, it is very important, some friends always will forget to mention it on the inquiry. Normally, for the surface, we will have black surface, bright surface(milling, debarked, turning), cold drawn. And there are 4 different heat treatment ways, so if you have any special request on the heat treatment, do not forget to mention. It is including Annealing, normalizing, Quenching+Tempering(these two will be needed together)

4)If you have any special spec request on the chemical element, hardness request and the mechanical property, it is better to provide the details.So when your customers send you the inquiry, you could have the overview and check whether they provide you the full info or not.

We are the largest stockist in south of China, and we provide the one-stop solution service. As we have our own warehouse and machine equipments.Our quality also got the accredited from Thyssenkrupp and the SGS and ISO certificate. So you are really lucky to find us here as the very reliable supplier on the 4140 steel sheet and other steel materials.

In Chinese steel market , the most adequate inventory was hot rolled sheet plate , and some big thickness was forged . Otai Special Steel have the most complete and sufficient inventory of 1.2311 sheet plate . We have more than 500Tons in warehouse . Most of them are 1.2311 Forged plate with big thickness .

No production process request . No delivery conditions requirement . After check with our stocklist , we found that we need to place order for this so big thickness . And this must be forged . No hot rolled plate could arrived this thickness , and the quality are hard to control for hot rolled . So we suggest the customer to take the forged plate , and Q+T make the quality better for processing .

1.2311 Tool steel is a German Die steel, the steel by “super clean” production process, pre hardened .  showing the height of micro pure and excellent homogeneous structure, excellent polishing and light etching engraving. After heat treatment, processing and polishing performance is good, can be carried out, and can be processed, suitable for the surface treatment of chrome, material hardness even (to 400mm thick), good toughness, good mechanical processing performance. Gold microstructure is martensite and bainite structure.

1.2311 Forged plate often use for some big thickness or some products with higher processing requirements . Forged production internal composition is even . Hardness inner are more closed to the outer . After we explained all the production processing details to the client , the client thanks for us to know their requirement clearly . And this may help them more convenient for end use . No matter when they may place the order to us , but the know how to use this materials in the best way .
