    Vacuum Degassed ASTM A 829

    SAE 4140 Structural Quality Alloy Steel Plate


    ASTM A 829 SAE 4140 structural quality alloy steel plate is a medium-carbon,
    chromium-molybdenum alloy which exhibits increased hardenability, strength, and
    wear resistance compared to plain carbon steels of the same carbon content. The
    ASTM A 829 SAE 4140 plates are usually furnished to chemical composition
    requirements only and are available from SSAB NAD in the as-rolled condition.

    All A 829 SAE 4140 alloy steel plates supplied by SSAB NAD are vacuum degassed as
    part of the secondary steelmaking process. Through vacuum tank degassing of the
    liquid steel, a reduction of the dissolved gasses (hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen) in the
    molten steel is achieved. This reduction of dissolved gasses and the associated removal
    of oxide inclusions from the liquid steel results in enhanced cleanliness of the steel and
    improved properties.

    Typical Applications
    A 829 SAE 4140 alloy steel is ordinarily heat treated by the end user to the strength
    level desired for a specific application. Because A 829 SAE 4140 plate can be heat
    treated to achieve a range of properties, it is widely used for many general purpose
    parts requiring a combination of high strength and toughness. A 829 SAE 4140 alloy
    steel is also commonly employed for a variety of mold, tool and die applications as well
    as for machine bases and blocks.

    Available Sizes
    Thicknesses range from 3/8 to 3” (9.5 to 76.2 mm) at a width of 96” (2,438 mm).
    Standard plate thicknesses available (96” wide) include 3/8”, ½”, 5/8”, ¾”, 1”, 1-1/4”,
    1-1/2”, 1-3/4”, 2”, 2-1/4” 2-1/2”, 2-3/4” and 3” (9.5, 12.7, 15.9, 19, 25.4, 31.8, 38.1,
    44.5, 50.8, 57.2, 83.5, 69.9, and 76.2 mm).
    Please inquire for other sizes.

    General Requirements for A 829 SAE 4140


    The general requirements for A 829 SAE 4140 alloy structural plate are defined in
    ASTM A6.

    Available Condition/Form/Edge Category and Finish


    In accordance with ASTM A 829, the SAE 4140 alloy steel plate available from SSAB
    NAD is supplied to the following condition, form, edge category and finish:
    Condition AR – As rolled (hot rolled)

    Form 1 - Rectangular
    Edge 1 – Mill Edge
    Finish 1 – As rolled (hot rolled)

    Composition, wt. %

    C Mn P S Si Cr Mo
    Min. 0.36 0.75 0.15 0.80 0.15

    A 829 SAE 4140 alloy steel plate supplied by SSAB NAD is aluminum deoxidized and
    produced to a fine grain practice. Through ladle refining, the sulfur content of the A
    829 SAE 4140 alloy steel is typically reduced to less than 0.005% for improved
    cleanliness.

    Mechanical Properties
    A 829 SAE 4140 alloy steel plate is usually produced to chemical composition
    requirements only. For guidance, the hardness of the as-rolled A 829 SAE 4140 alloy
    steel plates produced by SSAB NAD is typically in the range of 247 to 301 HBW.

    Thermal Cutting
    As a result of the carbon content and hardenability of A 829 SAE 4140 alloy steel,
    plates should be preheated uniformly to 300°F prior to thermal cutting to decrease the
    cooling rate in the heat-affected zone and thereby reduce the heat-affected zone
    hardness. Immediately following thermal cutting, while the plate is still hot, the plate
    should be stress relieved to soften the cut edges and reduce the risk for cracking in the
    heat-affected zone. Stress relieving may be accomplished by heating the plate to
    1100°F to 1200°F, holding ½ hr./in. of thickness, and air cooling. An anneal or sub-
    critical anneal may also be used following thermal cutting.

    Supplemental Requirements
    The following supplementary requirements may be specified in the purchase order or
    contract: S2. Product Analysis, and S8. Ultrasonic Examination.
