Also known as chrome-moly steel, this versatile alloy is used for a wide range of parts, such as gears and shafts. It resists fracturing from repeated stress. For additional wear resistance, it can also be surface hardened with heat treating. These hex bars have been manufactured to meet ASTM standards for quality and performance.
Note: Hex bars may be made from either 4140 or 4142 alloy steel. They are interchangeable in most applications.
