What’s The Difference Between 42CrMo And 42CrMo4

42CrMo is a kind of medium-carbon alloy structural steel with good comprehensive performance and good hardenability. It is often used to manufacture gear, connecting rod, high strength bolt and other important parts in machining process. The engineers often saw a material of 42CrMo4 mentioned in the European standard drawings. Is it be alternative with 42CrMo? What are the differences between them and their characteristics? We hereby discuss in depth from the terms of chemical analysis, mechanical properties and hardenabilit to find out the conclusion.
  1. They come from different standards from different counties. 42crmo is the material in Chinese standard GB/T 3077, specification of alloy structural steel. The material of 42CrMo4 belong to EN 10083 series, hardened and tempered steel.
  2. Chemical composition difference. There are tiny difference in content of element Si shown in the figure below, the Si content in 42CrMo is small than that in EN10083. In addition, according to GB3077, P and S content can be divided into three levels, while EN10083 only limits its maximum content.Different hardenability requirements. The hardenability of GB3077 has no the specific value of the bandwidth of quenching. The buyer and the supplier may discuss a solution on their own if has special requirements. The specific value of hardened bandwidth is specified in EN10083, which is divided into three grades H,HL,HH for reference when ordering.
  3. Different delivery condition. 42CrMo tubing is usually delivered in the condition of hot rolled and hot forging. If the customer needs the heat treatment condition (annealing, normal goods, high temperature tempering), it shall be specified in the contract. For EN10083 42CrMo4 tubing, there are five delivery conditions for choice: no heat treatment, heat treatment, softening annealing, quenching and high temperature tempering and other heat treatment.
  4. From the analysis of the terms such as chemical composition, hardenability, mechanical properties, grain size and delivery condition of the two materials, we can conclude that the EN10083 standard is more strict and the testing requirements for mechanical properties are specified, which is convenient for the calculation of 42CrMo4 steel in actual us.

Application of 4140 chrome bar

Image
4140 is a 1% Chromium - Molybdenum high tensile steel supplied in the hardened and tempered, cold drawn or turned, precision ground, polished, chrome plated and final polished condition, with a typical base metal tensile strength of 850 - 1000 Mpa, plus a typical hard chrome plated surface hardness of HV 1000 - 1150.Characterised by an extremely smooth surface finish with excellent wear and corrosion resistance, coupled with a base material giving high strength and good impact properties, plus good machinability. 4140 hard chrome plated bar is used extensively by the hydraulic and pneumatic industries, and is employed by other industry sectors for a wide range of applications requiring higher strength. Typical applications are: Agricultural Equipment, Hydraulic Cylinders , Hoists, Jacks and other Lifting equipment, Machine Tools, Mining and Earth Moving Equipment, Pumps, Valves, Waste Disposal Transport and Equipment etc. Anbao Hydraulic is a professional manufacturer in

The Production Process Of Chrome Plated OD Tubing

  Chrome plated od tubing is also known as chrome plated hollow bar ,chrome plated tubing a very important part for producing hydraulic piston rods and roller shafts in various machines. The biggest advantage of chrome plated od tubing than normal chrome plated rod is that the unit weight is light, people can greatly reduce the weight of the hydraulic piston rod, when design the hydraulic cylinders . The Production Process Of Chrome Plated OD Tubing Step 1. Get the steel tubes heat treated as per customers’ request. Step 2. Cutting the raw material hollow rod into lengths Step 3. Straightening the hollow rods Step 4. Peeling on the steel hollow rods Step 5. Straightenning Step 6. Grinding the steel hollow rods Step 7. Straightening the ground hollow bars. Step 8. The second grinding process Step 9. Polishing on outer diameter surface Step 10. Chrome plating Step 11. Final polishing Step 12. Final inspection Anbao Hydrualic is a professional  chrome plated ID tubing and hollow bar m
