Tool Steel
AISI 4140 / EN19 Steel is a 1% chromium-molybdenum medium harden capability fundamental cause excessive tensile metal. It is pre-hardened and tempered and can be additional surface hardened by flame or induction hardening and by means of nitriding.
STEEL PROPERTIES
- AISI 4140 alloy steel is a 1% chromium-molybdenum medium hardenability.
- High tensile steel is generally provide hardened and tempered in the tensile range of 850-1000 Mpa (condition).
- 4140 steel is currently out there with improved machinability.
- Greatly increases feeds or speeds.
- Extending tool life by not adversely affecting mechanical properties.
