41Cr4

41Cr4 is a type of alloy steel known for its strength, hardness and good machinability.

The "41" in its name indicates a carbon content of about 0.41%, which affects its hardness and other mechanical properties. Chromium contributes to improved hardenability, wear resistance and corrosion resistance.

41Cr4 is widely used in applications where high strength and good machinability are required, such as in the manufacture of shafts, gears, bolts and other components for machinery and automotive engineering. Its combination of strength and machinability makes it suitable for various industrial applications.

41Cr4 can be heat treated to achieve specific mechanical properties, including hardness and strength. Heat treatment processes such as quenching and tempering are often used to tailor its properties to the requirements of different applications.
