SAE 4340 Alloy Steel Round Bar Dia 300mm Length 3000mm DIN 1013 Oil Quenched and Tempered
SAE AISI 4340 Steel (UNS G43400)
AISI 4340 steel (UNS G43400) is an ultra-high strength medium carbon low alloy steel, which combines deep hardenability, high ductility, toughness and strength, and has high fatigue resistance and creep resistance. It is not particularly affected by tempering and embrittlement, and exhibits good strength retention at high temperatures and is not easily softened. In thin sections, this steel is air-hardened. In practice, it is usually oil quenched.
