Comparison: 4140 Steel VS 4130 Steel Material
AISI 4140 steel VS 4130 Steel chemical composition
| C | Si | Mn | S | P | Cr | Mo | |
| AISI 4140 | 0.38～0.43 | 0.15～0.35 | 0.75～1.00 | ≤0.035 | ≤0.040 | 0.80～1.10 | 0.15～0.25 |
| AISI 4130 | 0.28～0.33 | 0.15～0.35 | 0.40～0.60 | ≤0.035 | ≤0.040 | 0.80～1.10 | 0.15～0.25 |
By comparing the Chemical Composition of Alloy Steel AISI 4140 and 4130, we can know some 4140 and 4130 Chemical properties and physical properties have what different point.
sae 4140 steel VS 4130 Steel welding properties
4130 have lower Carbon composition, so 4130 is easier welding than AISI 4140 steel. And 4130 have lower Manganese than 4140. So 4130’s Wear-resisting performance is lower than 4140.
sae 4140 VS 4130 Steel Rust resistance properties
4140 steel have higher carbon, but sae 4140 have higher Mn composition. so their rust is very same.
