AISI 4150

AISI 4150

Alloy steels are designated by AISI four-digit numbers. They comprise different kinds of steels having compositions exceeding the limitations of B, C, Mn, Mo, Ni, Si, Cr, and Va set for carbon steels. AISI 4150 alloy steel is a higher carbon variation of chromium, manganese, molybdenum 4100 low alloy steel.
