GNEE 4140 Steel Precision Ground Bar introduce
4140 Alloy Precision Ground Bar


4140 Precision Ground Bar is a high-strength chromium-molybdenum alloy steel bar manufactured by cold drawing and centerless grinding. With a dimensional tolerance of ±0.013mm and a surface roughness of Ra≤0.4μm, it is an ideal choice for core components of precision machinery. Its core performance characteristics include:
Three core advantages
Ultimate strength and wear resistance
After quenching and tempering heat treatment (Q&T), the hardness reaches HRC 28-32, the tensile strength ≥950 MPa, the yield strength ≥850 MPa, and the wear resistance is more than 3 times that of ordinary 45# steel, especially suitable for high-frequency friction scenarios (such as injection mold guides, hydraulic valve cores).
Microstructure homogeneity
Precision grinding eliminates surface microcracks and decarburization layers, and the fatigue life is increased by 40-60% compared with ordinary hot-rolled bars (10⁷ cycles of stress>450 MPa).
Zero processing, ready to use
Diameter tolerance is controlled to h6/h7 level (such as ∅25mm rod tolerance ±0.013mm), straightness ≤0.3mm/m, eliminating turning/grinding processes, reducing processing costs by 30%.

FAQ
Is 4140 alloy steel corrosion resistant?
Although 4140 steel contains chromium to improve corrosion resistance, it is not highly resistant to corrosion. Appropriate coatings or protective measures are recommended for use in corrosive environments.
What is the difference between 4140 and 4340 alloy steels?
4140 steel has a lower carbon content than 4340 steel, making it easier to machine. However, 4340 steel has higher strength and toughness, especially in larger sections, and is often used in heavy-duty applications.
Can 4140 alloy steel be welded?
Yes, 4140 steel can be welded using the proper welding techniques and precautions. However, post-weld heat treatment may be required to restore its properties, especially in the heat-affected zone.
What is the maximum hardness that 4140 steel can achieve through heat treatment?
Depending on the specific heat treatment process, 4140 steel can reach a hardness of up to approximately 58-60 HRC.
Is 4140 alloy steel round bar available in a variety of sizes and shapes?
Yes, 4140 Alloy Steel Round Bar is available in a variety of sizes and can also be made into a variety of shapes including square bars and flat bars to suit a variety of applications.
