Chromoly Steel

Also known as chrome moly steel this versatile 4140 alloy steel is used for a wide range of parts such as axles shafts collets and die holders.

Chromoly steel.

4130 is excellent for wear. It is a steel that is stronger than carbon steel more commonly used in bike manufacturing so we can use thin wall tubing giving you a lightweight frame that will last through years of riding. For technical drawings and 3 d models click on a part number. Steel 4130 chromoly solid rounds sheets and plates and seamless round tubes.

The addition of chromium to steel improves strength and corrosion resistance and the molybdenum increases material toughness. Chromoly is a chrome alloy steel with a medium carbon content and 8 1 1 molybdenum for strength. The alloy can also be hardened by heat treatment. Alloying elements include chromium and molybdenum and as a result these materials are often informally referred to as chromoly steel common variant stylings include chrome moly cro moly crmo crmo cr moly and similar they have an excellent strength to weight ratio and are considerably.

With a chromoly steel bike you can worry less about bike upkeep and enjoy riding year after year rain snow or shine. Chromoly is the informal name for 41xx steel an alloying steel that s strengthened with chromium and molybdenum. Certificates with a traceable lot number are available for these products. 41xx steel is a family of sae steel grades as specified by the society of automotive engineers sae.

Chromoly steel is a type of low alloy steel that gets its name from a combination of the words chromium and molybdenum two of the major alloying elements. Buy now shapiro metal supply centrally located in st. 4130 chromoly tubing also has a smooth interior and exterior finish that resists scaling and oxidation. Chromoly steel is often used when more strength is required than that of mild carbon steel though it often comes at an increase in cost.

Easy to machine 41l40 alloy steel. Chromoly 4130 is a low alloy steel containing chromium molybdenum iron carbon and other alloying elements. It resists fracturing from repeated stress. It resists fracturing from repeated stress.

The molybdenum ratio is 0 15 0 25 by weight while the chromium is 0 8 1 1 and the carbon ratio is just 0 30. The addition of lead gives 41l40 the best machinability of all the alloy steel we offer. Chromoly steel is also treated before and after manufacturing to increase the natural resistance to corrosion dramatically lessening the chance of rust. What is chromoly steel.
