42CrMo4 Steel: Composition, Characteristics, Limitations, and Applications

42crmo4

42CrMo4 steel is the one of the frequently used alloy steel that characterized by its high strength, great toughness, and good hardenability. It is certtainly a chromium-molybdenum one that is characterized by the European standard EN 10083-3 The “42” stands for the approximate carbon content which is 0.42% (carbon), while CrMo means chromium (Cr) and molybdenum (Mo) are added as alloying components.

1045 Carbon Steel: Composition, Properties, and Application Fields

1045 steel machining

MnCr1045 carbon steel is one of the most spread medium-carbon alloys with a carbon content of 0.45%, appreciated for being a good balance of strength, hardness, machinability and affordability. This wide variety of applications includes gears, shafts, bolts, and other machine components This metal has good weldability and machinability that processing for the enhanced properties is possible, usable in the normalized state which provides uniformity in microstructure and mechanical properties.
