Custom 40Cr Steel CNC Machining Services | Precision Parts Manufacturer

As one of the most cost-effective medium-carbon alloy structural steels, 40Cr steel is widely recognized as a “universal engineering steel” due to its excellent hardenability, wear resistance, and balanced strength and toughness. We specialize in custom precision CNC machining services for 40Cr steel parts, delivering complete manufacturing solutions—from raw material sourcing, rough machining, and specialized heat treatment to finish machining and surface finishing—for global OEM clients.

40Cr Steel International Equivalent Standards

To streamline international sourcing and engineering alignment, we offer custom machining for 40Cr and its global equivalent grades:

Comprehensive Machining & Heat Treatment Capabilities

To manage 40Cr steel’s machinability while precisely controlling heat-treatment distortion, we utilize a fully integrated manufacturing process chain:

• CNC Turning: High-precision turning for stepped shafts, sleeves, threaded rods, and rotational parts, maintaining strict concentricity and runout tolerances.

• CNC Milling & Multi-Axis Machining (3/4/5-Axis): Precision milling for complex housings, valve bodies, custom brackets, keyways, splines, and contoured geometries.

• Precision Grinding: OD, ID, surface, and centerless grinding. Post-heat-treatment grinding achieves surface roughness down to Ra 0.2 – Ra 0.4 µm with dimensional tolerances within ±0.005 mm.

• Gear Cutting: Gear hobbing, shaping, shaving, and grinding for high-precision spur gears, helical gears, splined shafts, and worms.

• Deep Hole Drilling & Broaching: Specialized in deep-hole gun drilling, internal spline broaching, and precise keyway cutting.

• Thermal & Surface Hardening:

  • Annealing & Normalizing: Stress relieving and microstructural optimization for better machinability.

  • Quenching & Tempering (Q&T): Enhancing overall mechanical properties (typically HBW 207–241 or HRC 28–32).

  • Induction Hardening & Nitriding: Localized high-frequency surface hardening achieving HRC 50–58 for exceptional surface wear resistance with a tough, ductile core.

• Surface Finishing & Plating: Black oxide, hard chrome plating, zinc plating, electroless nickel plating, phosphating, sandblasting, and precision polishing.
