The hardness of 40Cr steel

 40Cr steel material widely be used in the machine-building industry. 40Cr is a standard grade of GB. After quenching and tempering, it will get great comprehensive mechanical property and great low-temperature impact toughness. And its hardenability is good. After the oil quenching, the fatigue limit will be higher. But the fittings with complex shape is easy to get crack after the water quenching. It is also suitable for cyaniding and high-frequency quenching beside Q+T. Its machinability also is good, if the hardness is 174-229 HB, the machinability is 60%.

40Cr steel material is a good choice for medium type plastic mold. It belongs to mild Q+T steel and cold heading mold steel. Also, the price is not high, easy to be processed. After the right heat treatment, it will get good toughness, plasticity and wear resistance. Tempering at the range of 550-570℃, it will get the best mechanical property. The equivalent steel grade of 40Cr is 40MnB, 45 MnB, 35SiMn, 42SiMn, 40MnVB, 42MnV, 40MnMoB, 40MnWB and etc.

What is 40Cr Steel Material Used for?
It is one of the most popular steel grades in the industry. After Q+T heat treatment, it usually is used to make parts. Such as the gears of machine tools, shaft, worm, cylinder shaft and etc. If it is through quenching and tempering; high-frequency quenching, it will be good choice for fittings with high hardness and wear resistance. For example, cylinder rod, cylinder honed barrel, wheel gear, shaft, principal axis, crankshaft, arbor, inlet valve, bolt and etc.
The carbon content of 40Cr is lower than 45# steel. At the condition of hot-rolled, their mechanical property is almost the same.

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
