Product Description

About Product

ASTM 4118 Steel is a low carbon case hardening steel which has at least 0.9Cr%,0.15%Mo as strengthening
elements as per EN10084 standard.It has good process performance ,and has high strength when
temperature at 500-550 °C.The oxidation resistance is deteriorated and the creep strength is remarkably
lowered when temperature exceeds 550°C.The weldability of 18CrMo4 steel is also very good, with
excellent machining or cutting properties.
