What Is 8740 Steel?
AISI 8740 steel is a high-strength, low-alloy steel. The combination of Cr and Ni improves its corrosion resistance, while Mo enhances its performance at high temperatures. This steel resists wear, fatigue, and impact. It is commonly used in critical applications such as gears, shafts, and fasteners. Its machinability allows it to be shaped into precise, complex components.
