AISI 4340 Steel (Q&T) F

metal

AISI 4340 steel in condition F is a nickel-chromium-molybdenum alloy (0.38-0.43% C, 1.65-2.0% Ni, 0.7-0.9% Cr, 0.2-0.3% Mo) quenched and tempered to achieve high strength with controlled toughness, suitable for high-strength structural components in aerospace and defense applications. Condition F typically provides tensile strengths in the 260–280 ksi range with good fatigue resistance and fracture toughness, making it suitable for critical load-bearing parts such as landing gear, fasteners, and transmission components.

Quality & Standards

Industry-Specific

RoHS, REACH, and Prop 65 statuses are validated against official substance lists (ECHA SVHC Candidate List, OEHHA Prop 65, RoHS Annex II). Other regulations are estimated from composition and material classification. All screening is a starting point for due diligence — always verify with your supplier before making compliance decisions.
