Physical Properties of Mo40 Steel Plate<\/h2>

Density: 7.85 g\/cm\u00b3
Melting Point: 1416\u00b0C
Machinability: Good (about 65%) <\/p>

Heat Treatment of Mo40 Steel Plate<\/h2>

Mo40 steel plate can undergo various heat treatments such as induction and flame hardening, normalizing, stress relieving, forging, annealing, and nitriding. These processes improve mechanical properties including hardness, fatigue resistance, and service life. <\/p>

Difference Between Mo40 and AISI 4130<\/h2>

Both belong to the alloy steel category, but the main difference lies in carbon content. AISI 4140 (Mo40) has higher carbon content, leading to better wear resistance and high-temperature strength, whereas 4130 offers better weldability. <\/p>

Applications of Mo40 Steel Plate<\/h2>

Due to its high strength and heat resistance, Mo40 alloy steel plate is used in:
Manufacturing shafts, crankshafts, piston rods
Gears, couplings, hydraulic components
Heavy industrial equipment and construction machinery
Mold making, ejectors, cams, and mold bases
Manufacturing bolts and screws resistant to high pressure
Equivalent Standards for Mo40 Steel Plate
AISI 4140 (USA)
DIN 1.7225 \/ 42CrMo4 (Germany)
BS 970 708M40 \/ EN19 (UK)<\/p>

Important Considerations When Purchasing Mo40 Steel Plate<\/h2>

When buying Mo40 steel plate, consider the following:
Verify chemical analysis according to standards
Type of heat treatment applied (tempering, annealing, nitriding)
Required thickness and dimensions
Final hardness of the product
Type of rolling (hot rolled or cold rolled)
In the Iranian market, Mo40 alloy steel plates (1.7225) are offered by reputable domestic and international manufacturers.
