The quenching and tempering process develops the optimum in hardness for wear, toughness, compressive strength and machinability. USES...Use 4140PH steel for all types of dies on hand-operated and mechanically operated press brakes for the forming and bending of sheets, strip and other flat-rolled metallic and non-metallic materials. Many machine parts, requiring a steel with high mechanical properties, can be made from 4140PH. Back up and support tooling, dies holders, and short run stamping and bending dies all offer opportunities to utilize the unique pre-hardened yet machinable characteristics of 4140PH.

The data presented herein are typical values, and do not warrant suitability for any specific application or use of this material. Normal variations in the chemical composition, the size of the product, and heat treatment parameter may result in different values for the various physical and mechanical properties.
