Based in Houston, Texas, Luois Metals is a top producer and supplier of Alloy Steel AISI 4340 Bars/Rods. We are well-known for producing high-performance steel products, and we provide AISI 4340 bars and rods with remarkable strength, toughness, and fatigue resistance. Our products are made to exacting industry standards, come in a range of sizes and finishes, and are perfect for demanding engineering applications. Luois Metals is a reliable partner for customers in the automotive, oil and gas, aerospace, and defence industries in both domestic and foreign markets thanks to its dedication to quality, on-time delivery, and technical support.
Alloy Steel AISI 4340 Bars and Rods are made with essential alloying elements, including about 0.40% carbon, 0.75% chromium, 1.8% nickel, and 0.25% molybdenum. This unique blend gives the steel impressive hardenability and strength. Typically, the mechanical properties showcase a tensile strength between 745 to 1080 MPa and a yield strength of 470 to 930 MPa, depending on the heat treatment process. AISI 4340 is also known for its high impact toughness, fatigue resistance, and wear resistance, making it ideal for demanding load-bearing components. The steel can be quenched and tempered to enhance hardness and is machinable in both annealed and heat-treated states.
