4140 plate for mask machine ultrasonic

Why the 4140 plate for mask machine ultrasonic is necessary?

42CD4 Plate Q+T

Why the 4140 plate for mask machine ultrasonic is necessary?

Since the coronavirus is under control,we start business,like I said before,the 4140 plate is sold a lot and very quickly,as the 4140 plate for mask machine ultrasonic,to produce medical ear-loop face masks with nonwoven materials.

I discussed an 4140 plate order of 175 tons,it just discuss 1 days ago,and my customer sign the contract and make a payment,however,when the payment is reach,I intend to arrange shipment,the warehouse told me that all thickness of thickness 35-40-45mm are sold out,a factory who produce mask machine ultrasonic need it urgently,we know the market demand a lot of mask,but now,the situation is demand exceed supply,every one are waiting more mask in market.it need more factory to manufacture face mask,but the factory need more machine increase the productivity,so now,most of the factory ask for the 4140 plate 35-40-45mm,and some of them had pay already,but these specification is scarcity.

Now,let’s check the most popular steel in 2020 as below.

Applications

DIN 4140 Tool steel is a alloy structural steel, 4140 is used for engineering structural, like high tensile shafts, bolts and nuts, gears, pinions and spindles. Locomotive traction with the big gear, supercharger drive gear, pressure vessel, rear axle, gear load of connecting rod and a spring clip,4140 can also be used to under 2000 m deep well of oil drill pipe joint and the fishing tool, and can be used for bending machine mould, etc

Forming

AISI 4140 alloy steel has high ductility. It can be formed using conventional techniques in the annealed condition. It requires more pressure or force for forming because it is tougher than plain carbon steels.

Welding
AISI 4140 alloy steel can be welded using all conventional techniques. However, the mechanical properties of this steel will be affected if it is welded in the heat treated condition, and post weld heat treatment should be performed.

H13 application –Chapter 9

H13 application –Chapter 9

special alloy steel

The design of mold for H13 steel  depends on the shapes and specification of products to make sure the size of the die. That was good for the strength of dieto H13 steel .

Furthermore, too small radius of rounded corner, ill-suited groove position and etc will make the die gets big pressure during the heat treatment. That is easy to cause crackle. So must make the taper angle, hole and etc at the right position in the mold H13 steel .

  • Production technique
  1. Forging ProcessThere are so many alloy elements in H13 steel. The resistance of deformation is big at the time of forging. And the thermal conductivity of the material is bad. So the eutectic temperature is low. That is easy to burn. So preheated temperature range must be at 800-900℃. Then heated to the initial forging temperature of 1065-1175℃. In order to crush large non-metallic inclusions and make the carbide get small, the forging ratio needs to be bigger than four. At the cooling process after forging, it is possible to get quenching crack. And the core is easy to get transverse cracks. So H13 steel must be slowly cooled after the forging.  The machining of cutting The roughness of the surface after the machining of cutting, which has a large impact on the thermal fatigue property of steel mold. The roughness of the steel mold surface must be lower. The knife mark and cullet cut are not supposed at here. Those shortages will cause pressure over control to make the thermal fatigue crack. So, must pay attention to handle these things in the mold at the time of processing. 3. The machining of grinding  for H13 steel  will be better .
  2. At the process of grinding, the generation of heat by friction at the parts which is easy to cause the problems of crack, empyrosis and etc.

Did the steel market effect by the coronavirus

Did the steel market effect by the coronavirus?of course it’s,Imagine there 14 billion people are stuck at home

42Crmo4 shaft hot rolled

Did the steel market effect by the coronavirus?

Of course it’s.The economic effect alot by coronavirus,especial cause by the industrial.Imagining there 14 billion people are stuck at home to fight for the coronavirus,all the business was stop,actually it’s not only effect the Chinese steel market,the coronavirus also effect the market all over the world.Let’s check some news from The economic news

Near-panic over a spreading coronavirus, sheared more than 1,000 points off the Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA,-3.15% on Monday, with more and more companies having followed in Apple’s AAPL, -3.39% footsteps ,by warning of lower sales and supply disruptions that could cause even more damage in the next few months.

Just a few weeks ago, from the viral outbreak in China,most economic forecasters were predicting a small impact . Since then the virus has made its way to South Korea, Italy and other countries, raising the prospect that it will spread worldwide.

The U.S. economy has been shielded from direct impacts of the virus, but the side effects are becoming more evident each day. Declining travel. Fewer foreign tourists. Supply bottlenecks for automobile makers and tech companies. The closure in China of popular American retail chain stores such as Starbucks SBUX, -2.76% and McDonald’s MCD, -0.67% . And so on.

Goldman Sachs on Monday raised its estimate,the economic damage to the U.S. for the third time in as many weeks. The bank now predicts the virus will shave eight-tenths,that a percentage point from U.S. growth in the first quarter — double its original estimate. That’s a fairly big chunk of growth.

But I don’t think we need to too anxious,as the Chinese steel factory is going to resume,that meas the mould & engineering business is going to start working,once the industrail is resume,The economy will recover soon.

The 42crmo4 was sold out by the mask factory

I heard the 42crmo4(thicknesss40-50mm) were sold out by the mask factory,it’s really shock me.

4140 steel plate stock for immediate shipment

I heard the 42crmo4(thicknesss40-50mm) were sold out by the mask factory,it’s really shock me!

As the chinese epidemic situation,our company had shut down for a month,that could make sure all workers are safe and clean. Today is our first working day after the coronavirus epidemic,I ask the 42crmo4 stock list from warehouse,and they told me that thicknesss40-50mm is out,as 42crmo4 was sold out by the mask factory,I was so curious why mask factory,I don’t think it need steel to make mask.and then they told me is not for making mask,it’s for machine which produce mask.and it’s push by government everyday. And our cutting factory is very busy with it.as our factory is the biggest 42crmo4 stoickist in south of China. I think it’s so meaningful,it not only prove our qulity is good for government project,but also we can do some good thing for our country. Now,we prefer to send all 42crmo4 to mask factory,we hope the it’s very helpful for our country.

Heat Treatment

42CrMo4 alloy steel is heated at 845°C (1550°F) followed by quenching in oil. Before hardening, it can be normalized by heating at 913°C (1675°F) for a long period of time followed by air cooling.

Forging

Forging of this steel should be carried out between 2200 and 1650 º F (1200 and 900 º C). The lower the finishing temperature from forging, the finer will be the grain size. This alloy should ideally not be forged below 1650 º F (900 º C) and should be slow cooled after forging.

Hot Working

42CrMo4 alloy steel can be hot worked at 816 to 1038°C (1500 to 1900°F)

Annealing

42CrMo4 alloy steel is annealed at 872°C (1600°F) followed by slowly cooling in the furnace.

Tempering

42CrMo4 alloy steel can be tempered at 205 to 649°C (400 to 1200°F) depending upon the desired hardness level. The hardness of the steel can be increased if it has a lower tempering temperature. For example, the tensile strength of 225 ksi cab be achieved by tempering at 316°C (600°F), and tensile strength of 130 ksi can be achieved by tempering at 538°C (1000°F).

Hardening

42CrMo4 alloy steel can be hardened by cold working, or heating and quenching.
