About 4130 Steel

Steel provides the necessary strength for every city, train, car, and airplane on Earth, and for good reason. This metal combines both iron and carbon to create a sum better than its parts, and it currently dominates the metals market thanks to its versatile properties. It is so useful that The American Iron & Steel Institute (AISI) and the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) have outlined numerous grades of steels that are made for specific uses, which are denoted by 3 to 5-digit identifiers. 4130 steel is a commonly used alloy steel for many projects, and this article will briefly investigate its properties. By outlining its makeup, strengths, and uses, this article may help readers decide if 4130 steel fits their specific job. We will first explore the physical properties of 4130 steel, followed by its mechanical properties and finally its applications, to show where this steel shines.

Physical Properties of 4130 Steel

4130 steel gets its name from specific rules outlined by the AISI and SAE. The first digit of the alloy designates the class of the steel, including its major alloying component(s). The second digit represents the relative percentage of this alloying element and/or other important secondary elements. The last two digits represent the carbon concentration in 0.01% increments. Knowing these rules, 4130 steel is, therefore, part of the 4xxx and 41xx series (the chromium-molybdenum steels) with around 1% molybdenum/chromium by mass with an included 0.30% carbon.
