4340 Hot Rolled SBQ Bar
Hot rolled 4340 steel bar is a nickel-chromium-molybdenum medium carbon alloy steel that is known for its toughness. This steel grade also has good ductility and high strength. Hot rolled 4340 bar has good impact, and wear resistance in the hardened condition. This grade is often used because it provides hardenability and strength that other steel grades cannot provide. Eaton Steel Bar Company stocks many diameters of 4340 hot rolled steel to meet the market demands. We also supply 4340 steel bar to various industries like aerospace, automotive, and tooling.
