8740 Alloy round steel
8740 Alloy round steel
This alloy is forged at a starting temperature of around 2200oF and can be forged as low as 1700oF(925oC).
After forging, the alloy should be slowly cooled, but it can also be transported to a furnace at a temperature close to the forging finishing temperature, soaked, and air-cooled.
A microstructure consisting of coarse lamellar pearlite to coarse spheroidite is regarded as ideal for this alloy’s machinability. Austenitizing at 1525oF, furnace cooling to 1340oF, then cooling to 1180oF at 20oF/hr can produce such a structure. An iso-anneal at 1225°F is another option.
AISI 8740 | UNS# G87400 is roughly equal alloy steel to AISI 4140. This alloy is being used in applications that require a high level of strength, hardness, and wear resistance. It’s extensively utilized as forged fasteners with great strength.
