Machinability
In the annealed condition AISI 4140 has a machinability rating of 66% of AISI B-1112.
Average surface speed is 110 feet per minute.
Weldability
AISI 4140 is on the border line of weldability because of its relatively high carbon
content. It can be welded by any of the common welding processes providing the section
is preheated and stress relieved after welding. The grade of welding rod to be used
depends upon the thickness of section, design and service requirements

Annealing
4130 (and most of the other low alloy steels) may be annealed at
1550 F for a time long enough to allow thorough heating of the
section size. It should then be cooled in the furnace at a rate of
less than 50 F per hour down to 900 F, followed by air cooling from
900 F.
Aging
Tempering
Hardening
Other Comments
The 4130 alloy is a through hardening alloy and should not be case
hardened.
