AISI 4320

It is widely used for components requiring high strength, durability, and resistance to impact or cyclic loading. The alloy’s balanced composition makes it suitable for carburizing or case hardening, enhancing surface hardness while maintaining a ductile core. Below is a detailed breakdown of its properties and applications.

Descriptions

1. Chemical Composition

AISI 4320 contains nickel, chromium, and molybdenum to improve hardenability, core toughness, and wear resistance. Its composition is optimized for case-hardening processes.

2. Mechanical Properties

AISI 4320 forgings are often heat-treated (e.g., carburized, quenched, and tempered) to achieve a hard surface and tough core. Properties vary based on processing methods.

3. Key Advantages

Case Hardening Compatibility: Achieves high surface hardness (HRC 58–63) with a ductile core.

High Core Toughness: Resists impact and shock loads due to nickel content.

Fatigue Resistance: Ideal for cyclic stress applications (e.g., gears, rotating parts).

Uniform Hardenability: Suitable for large or complex forgings.

Cost-Effective: Balances performance and affordability compared to higher-nickel alloys.
