Heat Treatment & Processing Guidelines for 42CrMo4 High Tensile Alloy Steel
Hardening & Tempering
Heat to 800 oC – 850 oC, hold until temperature is uniform throughout the section and cool in furnace.Flame or Induction Hardening
Alloy Steel 7225, hardened and tempered bar can be further surface hardened by either the flame or induction hardening methods resulting in a case hardness in excess of Rc 50.Parts should be heated as quickly as possible to the austenitic temperature range (840 C – 870 C) and “required case depth followed by an immediate oil or water quench, depending upon hardness required, workpiece” size/shape and quenching arrangements.
“Following quenching to hand warm, most components should be tempered between 150 C – 200 C to remove” quenching stresses in the case. This will have little effect on case hardness and will reduce the risk of grinding cracks.
Hardening
Machinery Steel 4140QT , Heat to 840 oC – 875 oC, hold until temperature is uniform throughout the section, soak for 10 – 15 minutes per 25 mm section, and quench in oil, water, or polymer as required.*Temper immediately while still hand warm.
Nitriding
EN19 steel with hardened and tempered bar can also be successfully nitrided, giving a surface hardness of up to Rc 60. Nitriding is carried out at 490 oC – 530 oC, followed by slow cooling (no quench) reducing the problem of distortion. Parts can therefore be machined to near final size, leaving a grinding allowance only. The tensile strength of the core is usually not affected since the nitriding temperature range is generally below the original tempering temperature employed.Normalizing
Heat to 870 oC – 900 oC, hold until temperature is uniform throughout the section, soak for 10 – 15 minutes and cool in still air.Stress Relieving
Heat to 680 oC – 700 oC, hold until temperature is uniform throughout the section, soak for 1 hour per 25 mm section, and cool in still air.Tempering
Re-heat to 550 oC – 700 oC as required, hold until temperature is uniform throughout the section, soak for 1 hour per 25 mm of section, and cool in still air.Machining & Welding
42CrMo4 (4140QT) in the hardened and tempered as supplied condition has good to very good machinability and operations such as sawing, turning, drilling, broaching, hobbing, milling and tapping can be carried out satisfactorily using machine manufacturers recommendations for suitable tool type – feeds and speeds.recommended and should be avoided if at all possible, as the mechanical properties will be altered within the weld heat affected zone. It is preferred that welding be carried out on 4140 while in the annealed condition, and that the work piece, immediately on cooling to hand warm, is then stress relieved at 595 oC – 620 oC prior to hardening and tempering.
If welding in the hardened and tempered condition is really necessary, then the work piece, immediately on cooling to hand warm, should be if possible stress relieved at 15 oC below the original tempering temperature (if known).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: What is the difference between AISI 4140 and SCM440?
A: AISI 4140 is the American (ASTM) standard designation, while SCM440 is the Japanese (JIS) standard.
Both are essentially the same high-tensile alloy steel (42CrMo4) and share near-identical chemical compositions and mechanical properties.
Q: Does E Steel provide material certification for oil and gas projects?
A: Yes. E Steel is experienced in supplying 4140QT high-tensile steel for major projects, including those for Petronas, and we are familiar with rigorous testing requirements like King Brinell hardness testing.
Q: Can 4140 steel be welded?
A: Welding 4140 in a hardened and tempered condition is generally not recommended.
It is best to weld in the annealed condition and perform stress relief at 595°C – 620°C.
