Typical applications

AISI4140 is normally specified for industrial and commercial building structures, crane booms, machine frames, and general welded fabrication.

We supply it cut to size by plasma, laser or waterjet, with edges machined or flame-cut to your drawing, and can deliver in the heat-treatment condition your fabrication procedure requires.

Nested circular profiles cut from structural steel plate
Nested profiles cut from structural plate; the yield of each mother plate is planned before cutting.

Delivery condition

As-rolled, normalized, normalized rolled or thermomechanically rolled (TMCP), following the delivery condition coded in the grade designation.

Available forms and services

  • Plate 6 – 200 mm thick, width to 4 000 mm, length to 14 000 mm
  • CNC plasma, flame and laser cutting from your DXF / DWG drawing
  • Normalizing, quenching and tempering, and PWHT simulation
  • Edge bevelling, drilling, rolling to diameter on request

Inspection and certification

Z15 / Z25 / Z35 to EN 10164 on request; UT to EN 10160; EN 10204 3.1 / 3.2 mill test certificate; Third-party inspection by SGS / BV / TÜV

Seaworthy packing — bottom skids, steel strapping, VCI film and edge protection — is standard for sea freight. Container loading plans with piece weights are issued before shipment.

About the equivalent grades. AISI4140 is nearest to EN 10083-3 42CrMo4. These designations sit at a comparable strength and toughness level, but chemistry limits, impact temperatures and permissible thickness ranges differ between standards. Treat the comparison as a starting point for engineering review, not as a declaration of interchangeability.
