AISI 4140/42CrMo4/42 Steel Welding
When welding AISI 4140 steel, preheating the material is crucial to ensure successful joining of two pieces. Proper preheating helps prevent cracking and ensures the weld is strong and durable.
AISI 4140/42CrMo4/42 steel can be welded using various methods including Stick welding, TIG welding, and MIG welding. Each method requires different techniques and equipment, but all can produce a good quality weld if properly performed.
The selection of the welding method depends on several factors such as the thickness of the material, the type of joint, and the required strength of the weld. It is important to choose the appropriate welding method that best suits the specific application and follow proper welding procedures to ensure a high-quality weld.
Forging
Preheat the steel carefully, heat to 1150 ℃ – 1200 ℃ maximum, hold until temperature is uniform throughout the section.
Do not forge below 850℃. Following forging operation the work piece should be cooled as slowly as possible.
AISI 4140 Steel Grade Heat Treatment
- Annealing
Heat ASTM 4140 steels to 800 ℃– 850 ℃, hold until temperature is uniform throughout the section and cool in furnace. - Normalizing
Heat steel alloy 4140 to 870 ℃– 900 ℃, hold until temperature is uniform throughout the section, soak for 10 – 15 minutes and cool in still air. - Tempering
Re-heat 4140 grade steel to 550 ℃– 700 ℃ as required, hold until temperature is uniform throughout the section, soak for 1 hour per 25 mm of section, and cool in still air.
Application
This alloy finds many applications as forgings for the aerospace and oil and gas industries, along with myriad uses in the automotive, agricultural and defense industries.
Typical uses are forged gears and shafts, spindles, fixtures, jigs and collars.
