Applications

Where Alloy Steel is Used

  • AISI 4140

    Alloy steel combines excellent machinability with post-heat-treatment strength, enabling precision CNC production of durable transmission gears.

  • AISI 4340

    Its stable machining characteristics support tight concentricity and dimensional control for high-load drive shaft applications.

  • AISI 8620

    Alloy steel allows accurate tooth profile machining while providing the hardness and fatigue strength required for differential systems.

  • AISI 4130

    CNC-machined alloy steel axle shafts benefit from high strength, wear resistance, and reliable performance under cyclic loading.
