4140 Machining Chrome Rod

SAE4140/AISI4140 Machining Chrome Rod

Material:Material:AISI4140/SAE4140/SCM440/42CrMo/42CrMo4

Machining Capabilities: Full Process Precision Manufacturing

  • Machining Precision:
  • Dimensional Tolerance: Outer diameter ±0.005mm, straightness ≤0.01mm/m, roundness ≤0.003mm (higher precision customization available).
  • Surface Treatment: Roughness Ra≤0.2μm. Support hard chrome plating (thickness 20 – 150μm), induction hardening (hardness HRC45 – 55), and other processes. 
  • Equipment Strength:
  • Imported CNC lathes (0.001mm level precision), grinding machines (Schleifring, Germany), and honing machines (Koyo, Japan) ensure full process machining.
  • 100% inspection by coordinate measuring machines (CMM) and ultrasonic flaw detectors (UT) guarantees defect-free products.
