This chromium-molybdenum alloy is one of the most widely used aircraft steels because of its combination of weldability, ease of fabrication, and mild hardenability. In relatively thin sections it will respond to heat treatment to high strength levels and yet in the normalized condition it has adequate strength for many applications. When resistance to wear and abrasion is required, it may be nitrided.

This nickel molybdenum alloy is a carburizing steel capable of developing high case hardness and core toughness. It responds well to carburizing and hardening to produce a case of uniform hardness with relative freedom from distortion.

It is produced by the best steelmaking practice for aircraft quality steels, and is then vacuum degassed to meet the magnetic particle inspection standards of AMS 2301.

This chromium nickel molybdenum alloy is primarily a carburizing grade capable of attaining high case hardness with high core strength and toughness. Its high alloy content makes it suitable for components with relatively heavy sections. The combination of high alloy content and low carbon makes it possible to achieve a high core hardness with a narrow hardness range between heavier and thinner sections.

It is an alloy that offers strength with excellent toughness and ductility, and it may be used to advantage without carburizing. Carburized, a highly wear resistant case is produced which is useful in extremely difficult applications.

The AIRCRAFT QUALITY grade is produced following the best electric furnace steel making practices. It is vacuum degassed to insure meeting the magnetic particle standards of AMS 2301.

This high carbon, high chromium alloy is produced by the electric furnace process and then vacuum degassed to meet the rigid standards of the aircraft industry for bearing applications. This steel develops high hardness and has exceptional resistance to wear and abrasion. In smaller sections it has high compressive strength. Because of high carbon content, bars are furnished in the spheroidize annealed condition in order to provide the best possible machinability.

This grade is a chromium nickel molybdenum alloy modified by the addition of vanadium. It is a high strength alloy with good ductility and impact strength. The lowering of the carbon content from the more common .40 per cent level improves its toughness and ductility, and it also limits the strength level to which the alloy- can be used.

It is available as a consumable electrode vacuum remelted product. This method of melting improves the transverse ductility of the grade at its high usable strength. It also improves the non-metallic cleanliness, making it the most appropriate for the fabrication of parts subjected to magnetic particle inspection.

(E4340 Modified)
This steel is a chromium nickel molybdenum alloy similar to 4340, but modified by the addition of vanadium and a higher silicon content. The silicon acts to displace the 500°F temper embrittlement range to higher temperatures. The overall alloy content acts to produce higher strength levels without the necessity of increasing the carbon content. Thus, this alloy offers a combination of toughness and ductility at high strength levels. It is a deep hardening steel with excellent torque properties. It has high fatigue and creep characteristics and maintains its strength at moderately high temperatures.

It also insures the non-metallic cleanliness of this alloy meeting AMS 2300, thus making it most suitable for the fabrication of parts subjected to magnetic particle inspection.

Nitriding #3 (135 Modified) is a chromium-molybdenum aluminum alloy steel that can be heat treated to develop high core strength and then nitrided to produce extremely high case hardness. This combination of properties is useful when requirements call for high surface hardness for wear and abrasion, for strength and hardness at temperatures up to approximately 1000°F, and for increased fatigue strength and resistance to corrosion.

HS 220-18 is a low carbon, high silicon, chromium nickel molybdenum alloy steel. It was one of the first grades developed in the high strength class, combining strength with toughness and ductility. It has relatively high impact resistance because of its low notch sensitivity at the high hardness at which this alloy is commonly used.
