As a key high-performance alloy steel, 42CrMo4 round bar is essential for manufacturing safety-critical gears in automotive, railway, and machinery sectors. Modern gear steel, like 42CrMo4, evolves towards higher performance, durability, operational stability, noise reduction, and cost-effectiveness to meet diverse industrial demands.
Gear steel is primarily manufactured from forged or cast steel. Cast steel is employed for large gears exceeding 400mm in diameter or with complex geometries, while forged steel is the standard choice for most applications. Forged gears are further categorized by tooth surface hardness:
1) Soft Tooth Surface (<350 HB):Common materials include 45# steel, 40Cr, and 35SiMn.
2) Hard Tooth Surface (>350 HB):Materials are medium-carbon steels like 42CrMo, 40Cr, and 35CrMo, or low-carbon steels such as 20CrMnTi. The 42CrMo4 alloy steel round baris a premier medium-carbon steel specifically engineered for demanding hard tooth surface gear applications.
1) 42CrMo4 Alloy Steel Round Bar exhibits superior strength, high hardenability, and excellent toughness. It features minimal quenching distortion, along with outstanding high-temperature creep and endurance strength. This material is specifically used for large-section, high-strength forgings such as heavy-duty gear blanks for locomotives and machinery, heavily loaded shafts, high-stress connecting rods, deep-well drilling tools, and industrial press dies.
2) 20CrMnTiH Gear Steel is a high-performance carburizing grade, offering excellent hardenability to achieve a hard, wear-resistant surface while maintaining a tough, impact-resistant core after heat treatment. It provides good low-temperature impact toughness and machinability. Widely utilized in the automotive sector, it is specified for critical, high-speed, and heavily loaded components with cross-sections under 30mm, such as transmission gears, pinions, and gear shafts, serving as a key engineering material for demanding carburized parts.
