MATERIAL CHEMISTRY

42CrMo Chemical Composition — GB/T 3077

Review the Cr-Mo alloy elements and request the actual heat analysis for your incoming material checks.

42CrMo Grade Reference Chemistry

ElementMass Fraction
Carbon (C)0.38–0.45%
Silicon (Si)0.17–0.37%
Manganese (Mn)0.50–0.80%
Chromium (Cr)0.90–1.20%
Molybdenum (Mo)0.15–0.25%
Phosphorus (P)≤ 0.030%
Sulfur (S)≤ 0.030%
Residual Nickel (Ni)≤ 0.30%
Residual Copper (Cu)≤ 0.30%

Limits refer to standard-quality 42CrMo under GB/T 3077-2015; A/E quality designations have their own residual and impurity requirements. Confirm the exact grade designation and mill test results for your order.

Composition & Acceptance Details

Send your material drawing and any special chemistry requirements with the RFQ. Your heat analysis and grade identification can be checked against the ordered standard.

  • Chromium and molybdenumCr and Mo support hardenability for specified quenched-and-tempered components.
  • Grade naming42CrMo is the standard-quality grade; 42CrMoA and 42CrMoE have separate quality requirements.
