As one of the representative steel grades of the Cr-Ni-Mo series in the American Standard, 4340 steel is a typical medium carbon low alloy structural steel which is considered to be one of the most popular steel grades in the South American market.

4340 steel is known for its high toughness and high strength, usually referring to its heat-treated condition.After quenching and tempering heat treatment,4340 steel has high strength and toughness, as well as excellent hardenability, good wear resistance and fatigue resistance.

Due to its excellent performance characteristics,as widely used as 4140 steel, 4130 steel, 4145H steel,4340 steel is also one of the most popular petroleum steel grades in the oil and gas industry.

4340 steel is used in the manufacture of important parts of large size that require good toughness and high strength,such as heavy machinery and high-load shafts (Helicopter rotor shaft, turbine shaft),gears, fasteners, etc.
