Heat Treatment Guide & Properties

42CrMo4 is highly responsive to quenching and tempering and is often supplied in the quenched and tempered condition. Surface hardening methods such as induction hardening and nitriding can be applied to improve wear resistance while maintaining a tough core.

🔥

Annealing

820°C – 860°C

Improves machinability and relieves internal stresses.

🔥

Normalizing

860°C – 900°C

Refines grain structure and improves uniformity.

🔥

Quenching & Tempering

840°C – 880°C

Oil quench followed by tempering to achieve high strength and toughness.

Molybdenum0.15-0.30%
Manganese0.60-0.90%
Silicon0.10-0.40%
Phosphorus0.025% max
Sulfur0.035% max

The performance of 42CrMo4 steel comes from its controlled alloying of Chromium (0.90–1.20%) and Molybdenum (0.15–0.30%). Chromium improves hardenability and wear resistance, while molybdenum enhances strength and toughness, especially at elevated temperatures. This composition makes 42CrMo4 suitable for demanding mechanical applications.
