Both are quenched and tempered steels, both contain chromium and molybdenum, and both are supplied in the same forms. The real difference between them comes down to a single element: <strong>nickel<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h3>What nickel does<\/h3>\n<p>Looking at the compositions in the Defence Metal datasheets, AISI 4140 is chromium\u2013molybdenum based: roughly 1.00% chromium, 0.25% molybdenum and 0.40% carbon, with no nickel at all. AISI 4340 adds <strong>1.65\u20132.00% nickel<\/strong> on top of that same chromium\u2013molybdenum backbone.<\/p>\n<p>Nickel increases the steel\u2019s <strong>hardenability<\/strong>. That means not only the surface of the part hardens, but the core of the section as well. For a thick shaft, a gear body or a landing gear component, that difference translates directly into the strength of the part. Nickel also raises <strong>toughness<\/strong> (impact resistance) after tempering; the part reaches high strength without becoming brittle.<\/p>\n<h3>Comparison in numbers<\/h3>\n<div style=\"overflow-x:auto;border:1px solid #d7dfe4;background:#fff;margin:10px 0 26px;\">\n<table style=\"border-collapse:collapse;width:100%;font-size:15px;\">\n<thead>\n<tr style=\"background:#DD3333;color:#fff;\">\n<th style=\"padding:12px 14px;text-align:left;color:#ffffff !important;background:#DD3333;\">PROPERTY<\/th>\n<th style=\"padding:12px 14px;text-align:left;color:#ffffff !important;background:#DD3333;\">AISI 4140<\/th>\n<th style=\"padding:12px 14px;text-align:left;color:#ffffff !important;background:#DD3333;\">AISI 4340<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding:11px 14px;border-bottom:1px solid #d7dfe4;font-weight:600;color:#20303c;\">Carbon (C)<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:11px 14px;border-bottom:1px solid #d7dfe4;color:#41525c;\">0.40%<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:11px 14px;border-bottom:1px solid #d7dfe4;color:#41525c;\">0.38\u20130.43%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding:11px 14px;border-bottom:1px solid #d7dfe4;font-weight:600;color:#20303c;\">Chromium (Cr)<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:11px 14px;border-bottom:1px solid #d7dfe4;color:#41525c;\">1.00%<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:11px 14px;border-bottom:1px solid #d7dfe4;color:#41525c;\">0.70\u20130.90%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding:11px 14px;border-bottom:1px solid #d7dfe4;font-weight:600;color:#20303c;\">Molybdenum (Mo)<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:11px 14px;border-bottom:1px solid #d7dfe4;color:#41525c;\">0.25%<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:11px 14px;border-bottom:1px solid #d7dfe4;color:#41525c;\">0.20\u20130.30%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding:11px 14px;border-bottom:1px solid #d7dfe4;font-weight:600;color:#20303c;\">Nickel (Ni)<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:11px 14px;border-bottom:1px solid #d7dfe4;color:#41525c;\">\u2014<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:11px 14px;border-bottom:1px solid #d7dfe4;color:#41525c;\">1.65\u20132.00%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding:11px 14px;border-bottom:1px solid #d7dfe4;font-weight:600;color:#20303c;\">Quenched + tempered<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:11px 14px;border-bottom:1px solid #d7dfe4;color:#41525c;\">Rm 930 MPa (50 mm section)<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:11px 14px;border-bottom:1px solid #d7dfe4;color:#41525c;\">Rm 1793 MPa<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding:11px 14px;border-bottom:1px solid #d7dfe4;font-weight:600;color:#20303c;\">Yield (Rp0.2)<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:11px 14px;border-bottom:1px solid #d7dfe4;color:#41525c;\">770 MPa (50 mm section)<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:11px 14px;border-bottom:1px solid #d7dfe4;color:#41525c;\">1496 MPa<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding:11px 14px;border-bottom:1px solid #d7dfe4;font-weight:600;color:#20303c;\">UNS<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:11px 14px;border-bottom:1px solid #d7dfe4;color:#41525c;\">G41400<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:11px 14px;border-bottom:1px solid #d7dfe4;color:#41525c;\">G43406<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding:11px 14px;border-bottom:1px solid #d7dfe4;font-weight:600;color:#20303c;\">AMS<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:11px 14px;border-bottom:1px solid #d7dfe4;color:#41525c;\">6349 \u00b7 6382<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:11px 14px;border-bottom:1px solid #d7dfe4;color:#41525c;\">6414 \u00b7 6415 \u00b7 6484<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<p style=\"font-size:13px;color:#6b7a84;margin-top:-16px;\">Values are taken from our product datasheets.
