Material Selection for Your Components

Nickel, chromium and molybdenum support hardenability in 4340, making it a purchasing option for larger cross-sections and demanding mechanical loads.

  • Specify your AISI / SAE designation and applicable ASTM bar standard.
  • Provide your bar size, planned machining allowance and required delivery state.
  • List your mechanical, hardness and impact-test requirements when applicable.
Bar strength and toughness depend on section size and the selected heat-treatment route. Review the agreed condition and corresponding certificate results.
CONDITION-BASED STRENGTH

4340 Mechanical Properties by Delivery Condition

Specify the actual annealed, normalized or quenched-and-tempered condition needed for your component. An agreed strength class and section size determine acceptance.

Published Q&T Bar Examples

Bar DiameterTensile Range0.2% Proof Stress
≤ 60 mm1,000–1,150 MPa≥ 835 MPa

GRADE SELECTION

4340 vs 4140 vs 42CrMo Alloy Bar

Compare alloy families before preparing your material schedule. Each grade follows its own chemistry, delivery standards and agreed mechanical properties.

4340 / Ni-Cr-Mo

Nickel-Alloyed Hardenability

4340 includes approximately 1.65–2.00% nickel plus chromium and molybdenum. Its chemistry is often selected for larger or more heavily loaded sections.

  • Specified by SAE / AISI 4340 and UNS G43400.
  • Heat-treatment route controls final strength and toughness.
4140 & 42CrMo / Cr-Mo

Other Machinery Steel Grades

4140 and 42CrMo are chromium-molybdenum grades used in machined components. Compare the actual project requirements and materials documentation before selecting a grade.

Related alloy grades are alternative purchasing subjects; final selection follows engineering approval and the specified material standard.
