Technical Specifications
Product Overview
Metallurgical Characteristics
AISI 4150 is a medium-carbon, low-alloy steel with chromium and molybdenum as primary alloying elements. The chromium content (0.80-1.10%) enhances hardenability and provides moderate corrosion resistance, while molybdenum (0.15-0.25%) improves high-temperature strength, creep resistance, and prevents temper brittleness. The balanced carbon content (0.48-0.53%) ensures optimal strength-ductility combination after heat treatment.
Heat Treatment Process
MetalZenith's precision heat treatment involves austenitizing at 845-870°C, followed by oil quenching to achieve martensitic structure. Tempering is performed at 540-650°C depending on desired hardness levels. Our computer-controlled furnaces ensure uniform heating rates and precise temperature control, resulting in consistent mechanical properties and minimal distortion.
Manufacturing Process Excellence
Our AISI 4150 production begins with electric arc furnace melting using premium scrap and alloy additions. Secondary refining through ladle metallurgy and vacuum degassing ensures chemical homogeneity and cleanliness. Continuous casting produces high-quality billets, which undergo controlled rolling to achieve desired mechanical properties and grain structure refinement.
Quality Standards & Testing
Every batch undergoes comprehensive quality control including spectrographic analysis, tensile testing, hardness verification, impact testing, and ultrasonic inspection. MetalZenith maintains compliance with ASTM A29, ASTM A322, and international standards. Our ISO 17025 accredited laboratory ensures accurate testing and certification. Traceability is maintained from raw materials through final delivery, providing complete documentation for critical applications.
