Uses of Alloy Steels

Flashcards covering the specific industrial applications for various AISI alloy steel series.

AISI 2330

bolts, studs, tubing subjected to torsion stresses.

AISI 2340

quenched and tempered shafting connecting rods, very highly stressed bolts forgings.

AISI 2350

high capacity gears, shafts, heavy duty machine parts.

AISI 3130

shafts, bolts, steering knuckles.

AISI 3140

aircraft and truck-engine crankshafts, oil well tool joints, spline shafts ankles earth moving equipment.

AISI 3150

wear-resisting parts in excavating and farm machinery gears forging.

AISI 3240

shafts highly stressed pins and keys, gears.

AISI 3300 series

for heavy parts requiring deep penetration of the heat treatment (hardenability) and high fatigue strength per unit of weight.

AISI 4063

leaf and coil springs.

AISI 4130, 4140

automotive connecting rods and axels, aircraft parts and tubing.

AISI 4340

crankshafts, axles, gears, landing gear parts; perhaps the best general purpose AISI steel.

AISI 4640

gears, splined shafts, hand tools, miscellaneous heavy duty machine parts.
