DIN 1.7225 (42CrMo4) Alloy Structural Steel Round Bar – Quenched and Tempered
Product Overview
Our DIN 1.7225 (42CrMo4) Alloy Structural Steel Round Bar, supplied in a quenched and tempered (Q+T) condition, is engineered for high-load, high-fatigue, and high-wear mechanical applications requiring exceptional strength, toughness, and dimensional stability. Compliant with EN 10083-3, ISO 683-1, and widely recognized as AISI 4140 in North America, this premium-grade chromium-molybdenum steel delivers a superior balance of mechanical properties ideal for critical components in demanding industries.
Through controlled heat treatment—typically austenitizing at 840–870°C, oil quenching, and tempering between 500–650°C—the bar achieves a uniform microstructure (tempered martensite) with consistent hardness, high yield strength, and excellent impact resistance, even at low temperatures.
Key Features & Benefits
- ✅ High Strength-to-Toughness Ratio: Yield strength up to 930 MPa, tensile strength 1080–1250 MPa
- ✅ Excellent Fatigue Resistance: Ideal for cyclic loading (e.g., crankshafts, axles, gears)
- ✅ Good Hardenability: Deep through-hardening due to Cr and Mo content—suitable for large cross-sections
- ✅ Machinable in Q+T Condition: Better than fully hardened tool steels; compatible with standard HSS/carbide tools
- ✅ Weldable with Preheat: Can be welded using low-hydrogen procedures (preheat 200–300°C recommended)
- ✅ Traceable & Certified: Full EN 10204 3.1 mill test reports with chemical and mechanical data
Chemical Composition (Typical % – DIN EN 10083-3)
| Element | C | Si | Mn | P | S | Cr | Mo |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Range | 0.38–0.45 | 0.17–0.37 | 0.60–0.90 | ≤0.025 | ≤0.025 | 0.90–1.20 | 0.15–0.25 |
Low sulfur and phosphorus ensure improved ductility and reduced risk of hot shortness.
Mechanical Properties After Quenching & Tempering
| Tempering Temp. | Tensile Strength (MPa) | Yield Strength (MPa) | Elongation (%) | Hardness (HB) | Impact Energy (Charpy V, J @ -20°C) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 500°C | 1200–1250 | ≥1080 | ≥10 | 341–363 | ≥47 |
| 550°C | 1100–1180 | ≥980 | ≥11 | 302–341 | ≥54 |
| 600°C | 1000–1080 | ≥900 | ≥12 | 269–302 | ≥63 |
| 650°C | 930–1000 | ≥785 | ≥13 | 241–269 | ≥78 |
Properties vary slightly based on bar diameter. Larger diameters may show marginally lower core hardness due to quench severity limits.
Dimensional Range & Tolerances
| Parameter | Standard Offering |
|---|---|
| Diameter | 20 mm – 250 mm |
| Length | 3,000 mm – 6,000 mm (custom cuts available) |
| Straightness | ≤ 0.3 mm/m (standard), ≤ 0.15 mm/m (precision) |
| Diameter Tolerance | ±0.5% or per ISO h11 (as-rolled Q+T); precision ground options (h6/h7) available upon request |
| Surface Condition | Peeled, turned, or black (scale-free after shot blasting); optional precision grinding |
Note: For applications requiring tight fits or minimal machining, we offer precision-ground 42CrMo4 Q+T bars with Ra ≤ 0.8 µm and h7 tolerance.
Common Applications
- Automotive: Crankshafts, camshafts, steering knuckles, drive axles
- Oil & Gas: Drill collars, downhole tools, valve stems
- Heavy Machinery: Excavator pins, hydraulic cylinders, gear shafts
- Aerospace: Landing gear components, actuator rods
- Industrial Equipment: High-torque couplings, spindle bars, forging dies
- Energy: Wind turbine main shafts, pump rotors
Heat Treatment Guidelines
While supplied in Q+T condition, additional processing may be required:
- Stress Relieving: 600–650°C for 1–2 hours, air cool – to minimize distortion before final machining
- Induction Hardening: Surface hardening possible for wear-resistant journals (e.g., 55–60 HRC surface, tough core)
- Nitriding: Possible after final machining (tempering temp must exceed nitriding temp ～520°C)
Avoid re-quenching without expert consultation—risk of cracking or distortion is high.
Comparison: 42CrMo4 vs. Similar Grades
| Grade | Standard | Key Difference | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| 42CrMo4 | EN/DIN | Balanced Cr-Mo; excellent hardenability | High-strength structural parts |
| 4140 | AISI/SAE | Nearly identical; minor spec variations | North American machinery |
| 42CrMoS4 | EN | Higher sulfur (～0.020–0.040%) for free-machining | High-volume CNC parts (reduced tool wear) |
| 34CrNiMo6 | EN | Higher Ni content → superior toughness | Cryogenic or impact-critical uses |
