Introduce
DIN 42CrMo4 steel is a low alloy steel containing chromium, molybdenum, and manganese. It is widely used across numerous industries and is an excellent material choice due to its toughness, high fatigue strength, and abrasion and impact resistance. Not many grades can match the versatility and usefulness of 1.7225.
Applications
This alloy finds many applications as forgings for the aerospace and oil and gas industries, along with myriad uses in the automotive, agricultural and defense industries, Typical uses are forged gears and shafts, spindles, fixtures, jigs and collars.
Chemical Component

Property
Annealing
AISI 1.7225 alloy steel is annealed at 872°C (1600°F) followed by slowly cooling in the furnace.
Machinability
AISI 42CrMo4 alloy steel has good machinability in the annealed condition.
Welding
AISI 42CrMo4 alloy steel can be welded using all conventional techniques. However, the mechanical properties of this steel will be affected if it is welded in the heat-treated condition, and post-weld heat treatment should be performed.
Forming
AISI 1.7225 alloy steel has high ductility. It can be formed using conventional techniques in the annealed condition. It requires more pressure or force for forming because it is tougher than plain carbon steels.
