42CrMo4 is an alloy steel with high strength, wear resistance and corrosion resistance, making it suitable for manufacturing components that need to withstand high pressure. After hardening treatment, its HRC hardness is high, which can enhance durability. All these are key requirements for hydraulic cylinders. 42CrMo4 harden steel to HRC 58-62 has emerged as a game-changer in the industry, offering unmatched strength, wear resistance, and fatigue life.
High Hardness (HRC 58-62): Achieved through precise heat treatment (quenching + tempering), ensuring long-term resistance to deformation and pitting.
Tensile Strength: Up to 1100 MPa, ideal for high-pressure environments.
Corrosion Resistance: Enhanced with surface treatments like nitriding or zn coated, perfect for outdoor or humid applications.
42CrMo4 harden steel Tailored for Hydraulic Cylinders
Fatigue Resistance: Reduces crack formation under cyclic loads.
Thermal Stability: Maintains performance even in extreme temperatures (-20°C to +300°C).
Lightweight Design: Compared to heavier alloys, it allows for compact yet powerful cylinder constructions.
Applications of 42CrMo4 Harden HRC in Hydraulic Cylinders
Heavy Machinery: Excavators, bulldozers, and cranes rely on its robustness.
Industrial Presses: Delivers precise force control for metal forming.
Marine Hydraulics: Saltwater resistance makes it ideal for offshore equipment.
Agricultural Equipment: Withstands rigorous use in tractors and harvesters.
