WHAT IS THE HARDNESS OF 42CRMO4 IN HRC?
42CrMo4 steel grade is an alloy steel for quenching and tempering. Grade 42CrMo4 products are mainly used for the manufacture of machine parts like cylinder piston rod and roller shafts. Steel is made in accordance with the requirements of the DIN EN ISO 683-2 standard (formerly EN 10083-3). AISI 4140/ 42Crmo4 is the most used quenched and tempered steel, It has an elevated harden ability, good heat resistance, excellent forging and good machinability with machine tools. It can be hardened on the surface or nitried in order to elevate the wear resistance and the fatigue strength. Quenched and tempered and nitrited cylinder rods can substitute the case-hardened and hardened ones, if they are not submitted to too elevated pressure. Steel grade 42CrMo4 is popular in the machine building industry and is used to make high-strength parts of compressors, turbines, working elements of heavy ground and underground equipment, and parts of agricu...
