Product Overview
AISI 4340 bolts are high-strength alloy steel fasteners manufactured from chromium-nickel-molybdenum steel conforming to ASTM A193 Grade B16 or equivalent. This alloy is renowned for its exceptional toughness, fatigue resistance, and high tensile strength, making it ideal for critical bolted joints subjected to heavy loads and dynamic stresses.
Through heat treatment (quenching and tempering), AISI 4340 bolts achieve tensile strengths exceeding 930 MPa, with excellent ductility and impact resistance even at low temperatures. These bolts are widely specified in aerospace, oil & gas, and heavy engineering applications where superior mechanical performance is essential.
