AISI 4140/42CrMo4 SRB Tube

AISI 4140/42CrMo4 SRB Tube

AISI 4140/42CrMo4 SRB Tube is a premium-grade, precision-engineered hydraulic tube that combines superior material strength with advanced manufacturing technology to deliver exceptional performance in high-pressure applications.

AISI 4140 / 42CrMo4 SRB Tube offers an optimal balance of strength, precision, and surface quality, making them a top choice for hydraulic systems, industrial machinery, and high-performance engineering applications.

Advantages

1. Superior Surface Finish & Precision: Mirror-like internal surface (Ra ≤ 0.4 μm) reduces friction and wear, extending seal life;Tighter tolerances (H8/H9) than DOM or honed tubes for better piston fit.

2. Material Performance Benefits: Chromium-molybdenum alloy provides superior toughness and impact resistance;Heat-treatable for customized hardness.

3. Enhanced Durability & Strength: AISI 4140/42CrMo4 SRB Tube work-hardened inner surface from roller burnishing increases wear resistance;High tensile strength for heavy-load applications;Excellent fatigue resistance for dynamic, high-pressure cycles

4. Corrosion Resistance: The steel composition provides moderate resistance to corrosion, especially when properly maintained.

5. Seamless Construction: The seamless nature of the tube ensures uniformity and reliability in high-pressure applications.

6. Versatility: Suitable for a wide range of applications, including hydraulic cylinders, pneumatic cylinders, and precision engineering components.

Delivery Conditions

DesignationSymbolDescription
Cold finished (hard)BKTubes do not undergo heat treatment following the final cold forming and thus have a rather high resistance to deformation.
Cold finished (soft)BKWThe final heat treatment is followed by cold drawing involving limited deformation.Appropriate further processing allows a certain degree of cold forming(e.g.bending,expanding).
Cold finished and stress-relievedBKSHeat treatment is applied following the last cold forming process.Subject to appropriate processing conditionsthe increase in the residual stresses involved enables both forming and machining to a certain degree.
AnnealedGBKThe last cold forming process is followed by annealing in a controlled atmosphere
NormalizedNBKThe last cold forming process is followed by annealing above the upper transformation point in a controlled atmosphere.
