Alloy Steel 4140

Grade Summary: Alloy Steel 4140 is an oil-hardening, chromium-molybdenum steel that has good strength and wear resistance. It also has excellent toughness and ductility with the ability to resist stress and creep at prolonged high temperatures (up to 1000). Alloy Steel 4140 is also available in leaded grades that have greatly improved machinability, but should not be used in applications over elevated temperatures cause lower ductility in leaded grades.
