DIN 1.7225|42CrMo4
42CrMo4 is alloyed heat treatable steel which is used in quenched and tempered condition with a typical tensile strength of 900 -1200 N/mm².It has high strength,good wear-resistance,high fatigue strength and good low-temperature impact toughness.Similar to AISI 4140,SCM440,only a little different in Mn,Cr,this material also has good machinability,but poor in weldability.

5.Forging
- Preheat 42CrMo4 engineering steel uniformly and slowly;
- Increase the forging temperature up to 1150-1200°C;
- hold suitable time for the steel to be thoroughly heated before forge;
- Reheat steel when temperature below 850°C;
- Cooling as slowly as possible in still air or in sand after forged.
6.Heat Treatment
- Normalizing:850℃-880℃,cool in air
- Annealing:800℃-850℃,Cool in furnace,241HB Max.
- Hardening:820℃-860℃,oil quench
- Tempering:550°C – 650°C, cool in still air
7.Application
42CrMo4 has high strength and wear-resistance,widely used in the automotive and aircraft industry, such as axle legs, axles, drive rods, crankshafts,pinions, gearwheels, linings, link plates,belt buckles, springs, saw blades, knifes and scissors.
