4340 Steel Bar

Size ranging from .250" to 15"

The 4340-alloy steel bar is composed of a nick, chromium, molybdenum alloy. It’s recognized for its durability and ability to achieve great strength when heat-treated. It also offers excellent resistance against fatigue and wear, as well as good atmospheric corrosion resistance.

4340 steel has excellent strength-to-weight ratio, making it ideal for parts that require high strength and resilience to wear and tear. It’s also known for its exceptional toughness and ability to withstand extreme conditions, which makes it suitable for use in high-stress environments.

Applications

4340 steel bars are a versatile and robust material, used in various industries due to their superior strength and toughness. Here are the main applications:

  • Aerospace: Used in landing gear and aircraft structural parts for their high strength-to-weight ratio.
  • Automotive: Ideal for high-stress parts in performance vehicles, such as axles, crankshafts, and gears.
  • Energy: Utilized in parts of turbines and generators for their high fatigue resistance.
  • Industrial Equipment: Found in heavy-duty shafts, gears, and fasteners where maximum strength is needed.
  • Defense: Employed in the manufacture of armored vehicles and military equipment due to their impact resistance.
