Product Overview
AISI 4340 screws are high-strength alloy steel fasteners manufactured from chromium-nickel-molybdenum steel conforming to ASTM A574 and SAE J429 standards. This ultra-high-strength steel is heat treated to achieve exceptional tensile and yield properties, making AISI 4340 screws ideal for critical structural and mechanical applications where fatigue resistance and toughness are paramount.
With a typical tensile strength exceeding 930 MPa and excellent through-hardening capability, AISI 4340 screws are widely specified for aerospace, automotive, and heavy engineering assemblies subjected to high loads, impact, and cyclic stresses. Their superior core strength and ductility outperform standard carbon and alloy steel fasteners in demanding environments.
