Specifics of heat treatment of steel 40x


General characteristics of steel grade 40HFA

Structural alloyed chrome vanadium grade 40HFA is a hypoeutectoid, low-alloy, medium-carbon steel. It is distinguished by an excellent combination of ductility, strength and ability to resist abrasion , which allows the material to perform well under dynamic loads. In addition, this steel is sensitive to temper brittleness , so it is recommended to cool it after tempering.

GOST standards:GOST 8479-70, GOST 1133-71, GOST 8319.0-75, GOST 2590-2006, GOST 2591-2006, GOST 2879-2006, GOST 103-2006, GOST 1051-73, GOST 4543-71, GOST 7417-75, GOST 8559-75, GOST 8560-78, GOST 14955-77
Application:in improved condition—spline shafts, rods, set screws, traverses, excavator shafts and other parts operating at temperatures up to 400 °C; after hardening and low tempering - worm shafts and other parts with increased wear resistance.

Mechanical and physical properties of the alloy

Metal of this grade should be classified as difficult-to-weld steel, which must be heated and then cooled during the welding process. There is also a high flake sensitivity of the material, i.e. its tendency to form heterogeneous areas, and the presence of temper brittleness.

Steel 40x - chromium, with a carbon content of 0.40%, as well as grades 65G, 50KhFA and 30Kh3MF, acts as a substitute for the 40xfa alloy. The following types of metals are considered foreign analogues: 4140, 4142 and G41400 - in the USA; 1.7223 and 41CrMo4 - in Germany, SCM440 - in Japan, etc.

The density of 40xfa steel, its hardness under certain temperature conditions and other characteristics are presented in the following tables:


As a mandatory heat treatment in the case of the 40xfa alloy, traditional hardening and tempering is used (in accordance with GOST for steel of this grade). Forging metal should begin at 1250°C and end at 860-800°C.

Steel 13HFA Moscow and Moscow region

Steel has a wide range of applications in mechanical engineering, manufacturing, construction, shipbuilding, aircraft manufacturing and many other industries. There are many grades of steel, most of them are made to order, there are grades that are constantly in stock due to regular demand. The Resurs company sells 13HFA steel directly from the manufacturer. With constant demand, we are ready to offer mutually beneficial terms for the supply of many grades of steel. Including 13HFA.

The favorable price for the 13HFA brand is determined by the minimum markup and the absence of intermediaries. We take full responsibility for the supplied material and guarantee the quality of delivery. The cost of products is determined by warehouse and logistics costs; we have the ability to supply steel directly from the manufacturer’s plant, this allows our clients to run their business stably.

Description

Steel 13HFA is used : for the manufacture of pipe blanks and seamless hot-deformed oil and gas pipeline pipes with increased corrosion resistance and cold resistance, intended for use in gas transporting systems, oil and gas pipeline systems, technological field pipelines transporting oil and petroleum products, as well as in systems for maintaining reservoir pressure in northern climatic conditions zones at ambient temperatures from -60°С to +40°С, temperatures of transported media from +5°С to +40°С and operating pressure up to 7.4 MPa; seamless hot-deformed pipes of increased corrosion resistance and cold resistance (Article 13HFA), with an outer diameter from 60 to 426 mm, strength class not less than K52, for in-field pipelines transporting oil well products (gas pipelines and pressure oil pipelines at pressures up to 4.6 MPa); for the production of electric-welded expanded straight-seam pipes with increased corrosion resistance and cold resistance, used for gas pipelines, process and field pipelines for operating pressures up to 7.4 MPa, transporting oil and petroleum products, for pipelines for maintaining reservoir pressure in any climatic zones.

Note

Structural alloy steel with increased corrosion resistance and cold resistance. The pipes differ from conventional oil and gas pipelines in accordance with GOST 8731, GOST 8732, by increased cold resistance, increased resistance to general and pitting corrosion, resistance to sulfide corrosion cracking and the formation of hydrogen cracks.
