Product Overview
4340 alloy steel is widely used where high strength, hardenability, and toughness are required. Compared with common structural steels, 4340 offers better response to heat treatment and more reliable mechanical performance under demanding load conditions. This makes it suitable for parts that require both strength and impact resistance.
Unlike ordinary annealed stock, this batch is delivered in quenched and tempered condition, which means the product is already processed to provide improved strength and toughness. According to the actual MTC data, the tested yield strength reaches 928–964 MPa, tensile strength reaches 1061–1091 MPa, elongation is 18%, and impact energy reaches 53.0–55.3 J.
