4130 Round Bar Applications

4130 round bar is a type of round steel bar with a diameter of 3/8 inch and an outside diameter of 1.25 inches. It is useful in the construction and manufacturing industries. The benefits are primarily in its corrosion resistance, heat resistance, and strength. It can withstand high temperatures up to 1200 degrees Fahrenheit without losing strength or shape. 

This steel bar is a type of steel bar that is helpful for structural and mechanical purposes. It is made from a high-strength alloy that contains chromium, nickel, molybdenum, and vanadium. Generally, the 4130 round bar has better corrosion resistance than other types of steel bars.

It can be easily cut with a hacksaw or metal saw and will not deform when subjected to high pressures. It also has good ductility, low memory impact, and good fatigue.

At the same time, it is helpful for structural purposes. It is general-purpose structural steel useful in many applications such as machine frames and automobile bodies.

Here are some of the 4130 Round Bar Applications:

  • Machine Frames
  • Automobile Bodies
  • Structural Steel Parts

4130 Round Stock Advantages

As it is known, the 4130 round bar is a type of steel bar that is commonly used in construction and also in the automotive industry. It is a popular choice for its high strength and corrosion resistance. 

Here are its advantages:

  • The production cost is lower than that of other steel bars due to less machining required for the production process.
  • The workability of the 4130 round bar is good, and can be forged, welded, or hot-rolled
  • This round steel bar has excellent corrosion resistance. 4130 round stock has excellent corrosion resistance, making it ideal for use in harsh environments where other materials may corrode or rust.
  • 4130 round bar can be produced in both hot rolled and cold rolled shapes.
  • It has good mechanical properties.
  • It has an excellent formability
  • Wide range of applications: 4130 round stock can be used to produce bridges, car frames, and aircraft parts with various load capacities.
  • High strength: 4130 round bar stock can be used to produce a wide range of products with various load capacities, including bridges, car frames, and aircraft parts.
