4340 Hot Rolled Quenched and Tempered Steel
AISI 4340 is a highly alloyed steel containing very high nickel and chromium content. This combination assures deep hardening when oil quenched and high strength characteristics throughout the section. 4340 HR Q&T is primarily used for heavily stressed parts that must operate under strenuous conditions. The Quenching boosts the hardness of the steel, while the tempering helps to make sure that it isn't too brittle to work with.
In addition to 4340, Alro also stocks Annealed quenched and tempered and Hot Rolled 4340.
