Technical Specifications
Product Overview
Metallurgical Characteristics
SCM440 exhibits a tempered martensitic microstructure after proper heat treatment, providing an optimal balance of strength, toughness, and ductility. The chromium-molybdenum alloying system enhances hardenability and provides excellent through-hardening capabilities, while maintaining good machinability and weldability for structural fabrication.
Heat Treatment Process
MetalZenith employs controlled austenitizing at 850-880°C followed by oil quenching and tempering at 550-650°C. This precise heat treatment cycle ensures optimal mechanical properties while minimizing residual stresses and distortion, critical for structural component dimensional stability.
Manufacturing Excellence
Our SCM440 production utilizes electric arc furnace melting with secondary refining processes including ladle furnace treatment and vacuum degassing. This advanced steelmaking ensures low inclusion content and superior cleanliness, resulting in enhanced fatigue performance and structural reliability.
Specialized Quality Testing
MetalZenith conducts comprehensive testing protocols specific to structural applications, including welding procedure qualification tests, bend testing for forming capability assessment, rotating beam fatigue testing, and salt spray corrosion testing to evaluate atmospheric corrosion resistance in various environmental conditions.
Structural Application Engineering
For building construction and bridge engineering, SCM440 provides excellent load-bearing capacity and seismic resistance. In machinery manufacturing, its superior fatigue strength ensures long service life under cyclic loading. For vehicle manufacturing, the steel's combination of strength and toughness delivers optimal crash performance and structural integrity. Our technical team provides application-specific guidance for welding procedures, joint design, and structural optimization across all engineering disciplines.
