Hot Forging Process of Leesh
GB42CrMo is a very common material of Leesh daliy work, its equivlent to the below standards:
EN/ISO: 42CrMo4 (German W-Nr. 1.7225)
AISI/SAE: 4140 (also ASTM A193 B7)
BS: 708M40 / CFS11 / EN19
What is the 42CrMo material?
It is an ultra-high-strength alloy structural steel .With hot forging process advantage, it has high density and nearly no internal defects,espcial suitable for hot forging process for havey loading purpose.
