Alloy | Temp Resistance (°C) | Hardness (HB) | Cost | Common Applications | Surface Treatment Limitations | Key Features |
1018 | ~480°C | 126–163 | $$ | Shafts, pins, base plates | Requires coating for rust protection | Easy to machine, low cost |
1020 | ~480°C | 130–160 | $$ | Automotive parts, tubes | Poor corrosion resistance | Good weldability, moderate strength |
1025 | ~500°C | 140–170 | $$ | Machinery parts, fasteners | Needs surface treatment for wear resistance | Balance of strength and machinability |
1045 | ~600°C | 180–220 | $$$ | Gears, bolts, shafts | Requires heat treatment for best performance | High strength, heat-treatable |
1215 | ~450°C | 130–170 | $$ | High-speed machining parts | Low strength, not suitable for load-bearing | Excellent machinability, ideal for mass production |
4130 | ~650°C | 190–240 | $$$ | Aircraft parts, roll cages | Requires skilled heat treatment | High toughness, weldable |
4140 | ~650°C | 200–250 | $$$ | Tooling, molds, axles | Needs post-treatment after machining | Strong, wear-resistant, heat-treatable |
4340 | ~700°C | 250–300 | $$$$ | Aerospace, high-load parts | Poor machinability when hardened | Excellent fatigue & impact resistance |
5140 | ~620°C | 180–230 | $$$ | Transmission shafts, gears | Requires heat treatment | Wear resistance, good toughness |
For a high-gloss and mirror-like finish. Commonly used in decorative or sanitary applications. | Not protective, may show scratches easily. | SUS304, SUS316, SUS303 |
Black Oxide Provides mild corrosion resistance with a matte black appearance. | Not suitable for outdoor/high-humidity environments. | 1018, 1045, 1215 |
Zinc Plating Adds corrosion resistance and a bright/silver finish. | Thin coating, not ideal for wear surfaces. | 1020, 1045, 5140 |
Nickel Plating Enhances corrosion and wear resistance with decorative appearance. | Increases part cost, requires strict pre-treatment. | 1045, 4130, 4340 |
Chrome Plating Adds hardness, wear resistance, and mirror-like finish. | Brittle layer, higher cost, poor on complex shapes. | 1045, 4140, 4340 |
Phosphate Coating Improves paint adhesion and offers mild corrosion protection. | Not decorative; color may vary. | 1025, 1045, 5140 |
Powder Coating Durable, colorful coating for protection and appearance. | Adds thickness, not suitable for tight-tolerance parts. | Most steels, especially 1018, 1045 |
Heat Treatment Enhances hardness, strength, and wear resistance. | Changes internal stress; not a visual finish. | 1045, 4140, 4340, 5140 |
Carburizing / Nitriding Increases surface hardness while keeping the core tough. | Requires special alloy steels and controlled environment. | 20Cr, 4130, 5140 |
