Design Features
AISI 4130 is a low alloy steel containing molybdenum and chromium as strengthening agents. The carbon content is nominally 0.30% and with this relatively low carbon content the alloy is excellent from the fusion weldability standpoint. The alloy can be hardened by heat treatment.
Typical applications for 4130 low alloy steel include. structural use such as aircraft engine mounts and welded tubing applications.
Machinability
This alloy is readily machined by conventional methods. Machinability is best with the alloy in the normalized and tempered condition. Although the alloy may be machined in the fully heat treated condition, machinability becomes more difficult with increasing strength (hardness) of the alloy.
Formability is best in the annealed condition for which the ductility is very good, Bend radii of 1t on annealed sheet material may be made.
Heat Treatment
Heating at 1600 F followed by an oil quench will harden the 4130 alloy. For best results a normalizing prehardening heat treatment may be used at 1650 to 1700 F followed by the 1600 F soak and oil quench.
Forging
Forge at 2200 F maximum down to 1750 F.
Hot Working
4130 in the annealed condition has excellent ductility. Thus it is usually not necessary to do hot working to form parts. If hot working is needed it can be done in the range of 2000 F to 1500 F.
Cold working by conventional methods is readily accomplished on this alloy.
Annealing
4130 (and most of the other low alloy steels) may be annealed at 1550 F for a time long enough to allow thorough heating of the section size. It should then be cooled in the furnace at a rate of less than 50 F per hour down to 900 F, followed by air cooling from 900 F.
Tempering
Tempering is done to restore some of the ductility that may be lost after the hardening heat treatment and quench. Alloy 4130 is tempered at between 750 F and 1050 F, depending upon the strength level desired. The lower the tempering temperature the greater the strength.
Hardening is accomplished by heat treatment or by cold working see "Heat Treatment".
