Product Overview
AISI 4340 threaded rods are high-strength alloy steel fasteners manufactured from chromium-nickel-molybdenum steel conforming to ASTM A193 Grade B7 or equivalent. This alloy is renowned for its exceptional toughness, fatigue resistance, and high tensile strength, making it ideal for demanding bolted connections in heavy engineering and critical structural applications.
4340 threaded rods are heat treated to achieve superior mechanical properties, including a minimum tensile strength of 930 MPa and yield strength of 785 MPa. They are widely specified for use in high-stress environments such as oilfield equipment, power generation, and heavy machinery, where both strength and ductility are essential.
