Description
Aircraft Quality 4130 per 6345 & 6350 Cold Rolled Sheet
What material is AISI 4130?
AISI 4130 alloy steel contains chromium and molybdenum as strengthening agents. It has low carbon content, and hence it can be welded easily. The datasheet given below provides more details about 4130 alloy steel.
