ALLOY STEEL
A steel to which modest amounts one or more alloying elements other than carbon, such as Cr, Ni, or Mn have been added. Alloy steels are workhorses of industry because of their economical cost, wide availability, ease of processing, and good mechanical properties. Alloy steels are generally more responsive to heat and mechanical treatments than carbon steels.

Grade
1045
: Medium-carbon steel, can be hammer forged. Can be heat treated, flame or induction hardened, but not recommended for carburizing or cyaniding. AISI cross reference for JIS S45C and KS SM45C.
4130
: A very common general purpose grade of medium carbon, Cr-Mo steel. Flexibility afforded by heat treatment options allows it to attain a range of toughness and strength values. Good hardenability, strength, wear resistance, toughness, and ductility.
4140
: Medium-carbon steel with high hardenability and good fatigue, abrasion and impact resistance.
4150
: AISI 4150 is notable for increased hardenability with a small tradeoff in machinability. Best strength and hardness appears in preheat-treated condition. Tailoring carbon content to bar size allows uniform physical attributes to be maintained across a variety of sizes.
41L40
: Medium-carbon steel with high hardenability and good fatigue, abrasion and impact resistance. Added lead increases machinability versus straight 4140.
4340
: AISI 4340 has a favorable response to heat treatment (usually oil quenching followed by tempering) and exhibits a good combination of ductility and strength when treated thusly. Uses include piston pins, bearings, ordnance, gears, dies, and pressure vessels.
52100
: E52100 has metallurgical and processing characteristics similar to alloy TBS-9.
600
: AL 610 alloys are low-carbon, silicon-containing, austenitic stainless steels. These alloys are typically used for applications in the chemical industry. The high silicon content provides them with very good resistance to oxidizing environments, such as concentrated nitric acid, over a wide range of temperatures.
6150
: Applications: Automotive leaf springs; also valve springs, piston rods, pump parts, and spline shafts. AISI 6150 and 6150H are directly hardenable to a medium level of hardness.
8620
: AISI 8620 is a common, carburizing alloy steel used for a variety of medium-strength applications including gears, camshafts, fasteners, and chains/chain pins. Flexibility in hardening treatments allow optimization of case/core properties.
9310
: Uses: Automotive applications, structural components, gears, rods, heat-treatable shafts.
