Description
4130 Chromoly Tubing Supplier in India
Grade AISI 4130 is a low-alloy steel that includes chromium and molybdenum as strengthening elements. It offers better mechanical properties compared to conventional carbon steels, especially when subjected to treatments like heat or mechanical processing. One of its significant advantages is its weldability due to its low carbon content.
Characteristics of AISI 4130 Tubing:
- Superior Strength and Hardenability: The alloy’s strength and ability to harden make it suitable for structural applications.
- Weldability: Thanks to its low carbon content, AISI 4130 offers exceptional welding characteristics.
- ASTM A519 Specification: AISI 4130 pipes can be hot-finished or cold-finished based on the ASTM A519 specification, making them fit for various mechanical applications.
Manufacturing Process:
- Hot Working: Most 4130 Alloy Steel Seamless Pipes are produced using hot-working processes. If required, these pipes undergo cold finishing to meet specific shape, dimensions, or mechanical properties.
- Shapes Available: AISI 4130 tubing is available in round, square, rectangular, or other custom sections depending on application requirements.
- Heat Analysis: Employed to determine the proportions of elements in the alloy to meet required standards.
Coating and Protection:
- Rust Prevention: Pipes can be coated with a layer of oil to prevent rusting during storage or transportation, especially if requested by the buyer. This coating helps protect the tubing before further processing.
Applications of AISI 4130 Chromoly Tubing:
- Structural Employment: The high strength-to-weight ratio makes it ideal for aircraft fuselages, race car chassis, and bicycle frames.
- Mechanical Tubing: Widely used in machinery and structural components where strength, toughness, and lightweight materials are essential.
- Oil & Gas: Utilized in the oil and gas industry for high-stress environments.
