What is 42CrMo4 Steel Bar
What is 42CrMo4 Steel Bar 42CrMo4 steel bar is an improved variety of American AISI standard 4140 steel. The steel has good machinability, easy polishing, biting and electroplating. It is suitable for manufacturing mechanical parts with high strength, high hardenability, good toughness, small deformation during quenching and high creep strength and endurance strength at high temperature. It can be used to manufacture forgings with higher strength and larger quenching and tempering section than 35CrMo steel, such as large gears for locomotive traction, supercharger transmission gears, rear axles, connecting rods and spring clamps with great load, and 42CrMo4 can also be used for drill pipe joints and fishing tools in deep oil wells below 2000m. Chemical Composition of 42CrMo4: Carbon C: 0.38-0.45 Silicon Si: 0.17-0.37 Manganese Mn: 0.50-0.80 Sulfur S: <0.035 Phosphorus P: < 0.035 Chromium Cr: 0.90-1.20 Nickel Ni: Allowable Residual Content < 0.030 Copper Co: Allowa
