Product Overview
AISI 4340 washers are high-strength alloy steel flat or shaped washers manufactured from AISI 4340 (UNS G43400) bar or plate, conforming to ASTM A829 and ASTM A194 standards. This alloy is renowned for its exceptional toughness, fatigue resistance, and high tensile strength, achieved through heat treatment and tempering. AISI 4340 washers are widely specified for critical bolted joints in heavy-duty engineering, where both mechanical strength and resistance to impact or cyclic loading are paramount.
With a typical tensile strength exceeding 930 MPa and excellent through-hardening properties, AISI 4340 washers are the preferred choice for aerospace, power generation, oil & gas, and heavy machinery applications. They are available in a range of hardness levels (28-44 HRC) to suit both structural and high-temperature bolting assemblies.
