I. Scientific Properties of AISI 4135 Precision Steel Pipe
AISI 4135 precision steel pipe is an alloy structural steel whose superior performance stems from a scientific chemical composition and heat treatment process. According to the Chinese National Standard GB/T 3077-2008, this material contains 0.32%–0.40% Carbon, 0.80%–1.10% Chromium, and 0.15%–0.25% Molybdenum. This composition design endows the steel with excellent comprehensive properties.
The heat treatment process employs quenching at 850°C followed by tempering at 550°C (Quenching and Tempering), resulting in a uniform tempered sorbite microstructure. This process enables the AISI 4135 precision steel pipe to achieve high strength characteristics with a Tensile Strength ≥ 985 MPa and Yield Strength ≥ 835 MPa, while maintaining an Elongation ≥ 12%.
The high-temperature performance of AISI 4135 steel pipe is particularly outstanding; it maintains high creep strength and rupture strength even at temperatures up to 500°C. Its low-temperature toughness is equally excellent, capable of withstanding cryogenic environments down to -110°C.
Special attention is required when welding AISI 4135 precision steel pipe. Due to its high carbon equivalent of 0.72%, its weldability is relatively poor. It is necessary to adopt a preheating temperature of 150–400°C and strictly controlled process measures.
AISI 4135 is not just an ordinary steel pipe; it is a crystallization of metallurgical art.
Its core lies in the precise synergy of three elements: Carbon-Chromium-Molybdenum:
- Carbon (C 0.32%–0.40%): Establishes a high-strength foundation. It allows the material to obtain a martensitic structure after quenching, pushing the Tensile Strength beyond 985 MPa.
- Chromium (Cr 0.80%–1.10%): Enhances hardenability and corrosion resistance, allowing the steel pipe to maintain structural stability even in humid environments.
- Molybdenum (Mo 0.15%–0.25%): Inhibits temper brittleness and endows the material with high-temperature stability for long-term service below 500°C. It is the core guarantee for high-pressure boilers and hydraulic systems.
After 850°C oil quenching + 550°C tempering, its Yield Strength is ≥ 835 MPa, Elongation ≥ 12%, and Impact Energy ≥ 63 J (reliable even at -110°C), far exceeding ordinary carbon steel.This is not just a material; it is the industrial backbone that withstands heavy loads, shocks, and thermal cycles.
