AISI 4140/42CrMo4 Hot Rolled Tube
AISI 4140/42CrMo4 Hot Rolled Tube
AISI 4140/42CrMo4 Hot Rolled Tube is a high-strength, low-alloy steel tube known for its excellent toughness, fatigue resistance, and good machinability. This material is widely used in demanding industrial applications requiring high mechanical strength and durability.
AISI 4140/42CrMo4 hot rolled tube is ideal for high-stress applications where strength, durability, and machinability are critical. Their versatility makes them a preferred choice in industries requiring reliable performance under extreme conditions.

Advantages
1. High Strength & Toughness: Excellent tensile and yield strength, suitable for heavy-duty applications.Superior Impact Resistance,performs well in dynamic and shock-loading conditions (e.g., drilling equipment, automotive axles).
2. Corrosion & Temperature Resistance: Moderate Corrosion Resistance:chromium provides better oxidation resistance than plain carbon steel.Often used with protective coatings (e.g., plating, painting) for harsh environments.Good High-Temperature Stability,retains strength up to 400–500°C, suitable for oil/gas and power plant components.
3. Cost-Effective for High-Performance Applications: AISI 4140/42CrMo4 hot rolled tube is more affordable than ultra-high-strength steels (e.g., maraging steels) while offering comparable strength.Longer service life reduces replacement frequency in industrial settings.
4. Good Machinability: Can be machined efficiently in annealed condition.Better than higher-alloy steels like AISI 4340.
5. Enhanced Fatigue & Wear Resistance: Improves resistance to wear, abrasion, and cyclic stresses.Ideal for components like gears, shafts, and hydraulic cylinders subjected to repeated stress.
6. Versatility: Suitable for a wide range of applications, including hydraulic cylinders, pneumatic cylinders, and precision engineering components.
