Machinability 

Machinability of 4140 Steel

AISI 4140 alloy steel has good machinability in the annealed condition.

Forming of 4140 Steel

AISI 4140 alloy steel has high ductility. It can be formed using conventional techniques in the annealed condition. It requires more pressure or force for forming because it is tougher than plain carbon steels.

Welding of 4140 Steel

AISI 4140 alloy steel can be welded using all conventional techniques. However, the mechanical properties of this steel will be affected if it is welded in the heat-treated condition, and post-weld heat treatment should be performed.

Heat Treatment

AISI 4140 has enough carbon present to allow for adequate heat treatment. Recommended hardening procedures are to bring the steel up to 1,675 degrees Fahrenheit for normalization (removal of stress within the steel). After it cools properly, heat the steel to 1,550 degrees Fahrenheit before quenching it in oil. The toughness of the steel makes machining in its hardened form difficult. However, after annealing the steel at 1,600 degrees followed by a slow cooling, the steel is much softer and far easier to machine. It can then be heat-treated after machining to produce a hard, precise item.
