ASTM A508/A508M Grade 4N Class 1 Introduce
ASTM A508/A508M Grade 4N Class 1 provides a higher strength-to-weight ratio than standard carbon steels. It can easily be welded and is damage-resistant, decreasing the possibility of stress-induced fatigue failure. The addition of vanadium and niobium improves the microstructure and contributes to the steels superior strength and impact properties. The steel is tested for a variety of conditions for mechanical properties, including hardness, toughness, yield strength, tensile strength, microstructure, elongation, impact resistance, and grain size. ASTM A508/A508M Grade 4N Class 1 offers a number of advantages for applications that require high strength, good impact resistance and increased corrosion resistance. It is an economical solution for a variety of applications, making it a great choice for industrial and commercial projects.
Smelting temperature:1556°C - 1879°C
