4130 forging parts are usually high-strength, high-toughness connectors made of **4130 chromium-molybdenum alloy steel (Chromoly Steel), which are widely used in aerospace, racing, motorcycles, oil drilling, structural engineering and high-pressure pipelines.
1. Introduction to 4130 alloy steel
Composition: Contains 0.3% carbon, 1.0% chromium, 0.2-0.3% molybdenum, and a small amount of manganese and silicon.
Features:
It has excellent strength and toughness and can be heat treated to optimize performance.
Good welding performance, suitable for TIG, MIG, and flame welding.
Excellent wear resistance and fatigue resistance, suitable for high stress environments.
2. Advantages of 4130 forging parts
High strength and light weight: Compared with carbon steel, it has higher strength and lighter weight, suitable for applications that require high strength and weight reduction.
Good corrosion resistance: More corrosion-resistant than ordinary carbon steel, especially under the protection of coating or plating.
High toughness and impact resistance: suitable for high impact load structural parts such as racing cars and aviation structures.
High machinability: can be CNC processed, turned, drilled and milled.
3. Typical applications
Racing cars and motorcycles: used for frames, suspension systems and high-strength pipe joints.
Aerospace: aircraft structural parts, landing gear connectors.
Oil and gas industry: high-pressure pipeline joints, drilling equipment.
Structural engineering: bridges, frames, special steel structure welding joints.
4. Heat treatment and welding
Heat treatment: hardness and toughness can be enhanced by normalizing, quenching + tempering process.
Welding method:
TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas Welding) is the most commonly used welding method, which can provide high-quality welds.
Preheat to 150-300°C and cool slowly to reduce the risk of cracking.
Use matching welding wire (such as ER80S-D2) to improve welding strength.
