2、 Briefly explain
38CrA = 5140 = SCr440 = 37Cr4 (1.7034)
Material type: Medium carbon quenched and tempered alloy structural steel
Key components: C ≈ 0.38%, Cr ≈ 0.90%
Core characteristics: Good comprehensive mechanical properties, good low-temperature toughness, excellent machinability, but average hardenability
Typical applications: aviation bolts, shafts, sleeves, connectors, and other low to medium load quenched and tempered parts
III38CrA round steelEasy to confuse and distinguish
38CrA ≠ 38CrMoAl: The former is structural steel, while the latter is nitriding steel, with different compositions and uses.
38CrA ≠ ML38CrA: ML38CrA is a cold heading steel specially optimized for cold heading process.
4、 Mechanical properties (quenched and tempered state)
Tensile strength (σ b): ≥ 980 MPa
Yield strength (σ s): ≥ 835 MPa
Elongation rate (δ 5): ≥ 12%
Shrinkage rate of cross-section (ψ): ≥ 45%
Impact energy (Aku): ≥ 63 J
Annealing hardness: 156~229 HBW
4、 Standard heat treatment
Quenching: 860 ° C ± 10 ° C, oil cooled
回火: 500~590°C, 油 / 水冷
5、 Corresponding domestic and international brands
China: 38CrA (GJB)
USA: SAE 5140
Soviet Union: 38XA
UK: 530A40
France: 38C4
6、 Typical applications
Aerospace: High strength bolts, nuts, and dowels for aircraft and engines
Machinery: shafts, gears, and connecting rods that require high strength and toughness
