4340 ALLOY STEEL – AMS 6414 VAR – UNS G43406

4340 ALLOY STEEL – AMS 6414 VAR – UNSG43406

 

4340 VAR AMS 6414 is a low alloy Chromium-Nickel-Molybdenum steel capable of being heat treated to high strength levels.

 

This specification is for a premium aircraft-quality, low-alloy steel in the form of bars, forgings, mechanical tubing, and forging stock. Service Steel Aerospace stocks Premium Aircraft Quality produced double melted in an Electric Furnace, followed by VAR, or Vacuum Arc Remelt (also known as CEVM, or Consumable Electrode Vacuum Arc Remelting). This results in a much cleaner steel meeting the magnetic particle test requirements of AMS-2300.

 

It is a steel of the highest quality with excellent transverse ductility and toughness at high strength levels. It has good shock and impact resistance as well as wear and abrasion resistance in the hardened condition. Standard Aircraft Quality air-melted AMS 6414 Air Melt material is available on request. 4340 ESR, or Electroslag Remelted material is also available on request.

4340 alloy steel applications:

4340 has been used typically for parts requiring a through-hardening capability up to 3.5 inches (89 mm) in nominal thickness at time of heat treatment and subject to rigid magnetic particle inspection standards, but usage is not limited to such applications. Premium Aircraft Quality is intended for use in the manufacturing of highly stressed parts at higher strength levels, such as 260/280,000 psi and where a much cleaner steel is desired.
