Alloy 4140 (AISI 4140) is one of the most popular direct hardening Cr-Mo alloy steel plates that have the ability to develop an extensive range of hardness and strength. Alloying elements and thermal treatments, such as quenching and tempering, greatly influence the hardness and strength of the steel.

AISI 4140 Steel Bar, Steel Plate, Flats Supplier, Stockist and Exporter. AISI SAE 4140 alloy steel is a chromium molybdenum alloy steel specification widely used in general purpose high tensile steel for components, like axles, shafts, bolts, gears and other applications. Similar to alloy grade AISI 4130 chrome moly alloy steel but with a 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 steels, however it does have inferior weldability characteristics.
