SNCM431 4340 DIN 1.6580 30CrNiMo8 Hardened Steel
4340 SNCM431 DIN1.6580 30CrNiMo8 Hardened Steel
1. 4340 Applications
Alloyed heat treatable steel with a typical tensile strength of 1100 -1300 N/mm². Used for highly stressed components, where the combination of high strength with tenaciousness is of utmost importance. High cold formability: Parts of different shape can be manufactured, a favorable fibering for stress, a very good surface condition and an high dimensional accuracy. When cold formed the smooth surface leads to an increased fatigue and vibratory strength.
