Alloy is a steel that contains one or more alloying elements, which produces specific properties not found in regular carbon steel. Alloy steels are generally more responsive to mechanical and heat treatments.

Grade | Description |
---|---|
4130 | General purpose alloy. Offers good strength and toughness for moderately stressed parts. |
4140 | Medium carbon steel that is widely used for general purposes. Good hardenability, strength, toughness, wear resistance, and ductility. |
4150 | Similar to 4140, but increased carbon content leads to higher hardenability. Offers excellent machinability and tool life. |
4340 | Highly alloyed steel. Used in heavy-duty conditions and for heavily stressed parts. |
8620 | General purpose alloy. It is the most widely used of all case hardening alloys. |
52100 | A high carbon, chromium containing, low alloy steel. A moderately deep hardening alloy with high resistance to wear, medium toughness and low resistance to softening at high temperatures. |
41L40 | Can be quenched and tempered for a broad range of strength levels. |
86L20 | Case hardening steel that is supported by a tough, ductile core. Minimal distortion in heat treatment. |
