Alloy Steel 42CrMo4 Bars

Alloy Steel 42CrMo4 Bars are premium chromium-molybdenum alloy steel products known for their superior combination of strength, toughness, and wear resistance. Adhering to the DIN EN 10083‑3 standard (also known as DIN 1.7225), this grade offers excellent hardenability and impact resistance with minimal tempering embrittlement. It's widely used in demanding applications such as large gears, heavy-duty shafts, connecting rods, and components for oil drilling equipment.

Chemically, Alloy Steel 42CrMo4 Bars typically consist of 0.38–0.45% carbon, 0.60–0.90% manganese, up to 0.40% silicon, 0.90–1.20% chromium, and 0.15–0.30% molybdenum. Phosphorus and sulfur impurities are controlled to very low levels to maintain toughness .Lion MetalMachine MFGmetinvestholding.comsteeltube.co.inwixsteel.com Furthermore, the density is around 7.83–7.85 g/cm³, with physical traits such as a thermal expansion coefficient (~11–12 ×10⁻⁶ K⁻¹) and moderate thermal conductivity, making it suitable under diverse thermal conditions.


In its quenched and tempered condition, 42CrMo4 exhibits robust mechanical properties. Yield strength ranges from approximately ≥900 MPa (for small diameters) down to ≥500–650 MPa for larger sizes; tensile strength typically spans 900–1200 MPa; elongation remains over 10–14%; and hardness can reach 35–48 HRC (or ~295–355 HB depending on form and dimensions.

Frequently Asked Questions about Alloy Steel 42CrMo4 Bars

1. What is Alloy Steel 42CrMo4?

Alloy Steel 42CrMo4 is a chromium-molybdenum alloy steel known for its high tensile strength, good hardenability, and excellent wear resistance. It conforms to DIN 1.7225 and is equivalent to AISI 4140.

2. What are the mechanical properties of 42CrMo4 Bars?

Quenched and tempered 42CrMo4 bars offer tensile strength between 900–1200 MPa, yield strength ranging from 500–900 MPa (depending on size), elongation of 10–14%, and a hardness of up to 48 HRC.

3. Can 42CrMo4 bars be welded?

Welding is possible but requires precautions. Preheating the material to 200–300°C and performing post-weld heat treatment are necessary to avoid cracking due to the high hardenability of the alloy.
