Quenched and tempered 42CrMo4, EN 10083 reference; ruling section thickness, not bar diameter. These values do not apply to annealed plate, or automatically to 34CrMo4, 50CrMo4, 51CrV4 or AISI 4140.
42CrMo4 — heat-treatment reference
| Process | Temperature | Cooling / condition |
|---|---|---|
| Normalizing | 850–880°C | Air cooling |
| Soft annealing | 800–850°C | Furnace cooling; ≤241 HB reference |
| Hardening | 820–860°C | Oil quench |
| Tempering | 550–650°C | Still-air cooling |
Process reference for 42CrMo4; the qualified heat-treatment procedure depends on section size and required properties.
Surface & processing requirements
Include the downstream process in your enquiry so that the material, dimensions and surface can be reviewed together.
| Cut-to-size requirements | Final length and width, cutting method and edge condition. |
|---|---|
| Forming / fabrication | Describe the downstream forming, pressing, profiling or fabrication operation. |
| Finishing requirements | State whether material will be painted, coated or otherwise finished after delivery. |
| Plate / sheet handling | Confirm lifting method, stack height and protection of edges and surfaces. |
Production & processing
Define the material and the downstream process together. Cutting, slitting or finishing requirements should form part of the order specification.
Material review
Grade, dimensions and surface requirements are checked against the enquiry.
Processing scope
Agree cutting, slitting or forming requirements and the finished product tolerances.
Order inspection
Define acceptance criteria, identification and the requested documentation.
Stock & warehouse
Hot rolled, galvanized and color coated material in warehouse settings. Ask our team to confirm current availability for your grade, dimensions and quantity.
Quality inspection & documentation
Agree the acceptance criteria and required documents before confirming your order.
- Material identificationGrade, standard and requested test documentation.
- Dimensions & surfaceThickness, width, finish and agreed tolerances.
- Order documentsProduct identification, packing list and inspection scope.
Packaging & shipment
Tell us how the material will be transported, unloaded and stored. Specify moisture protection, edge protection, package weight and destination with your enquiry.
| Protection | Moisture barrier, edge protection and surface protection as agreed. |
|---|---|
| Unit weight | Specify the coil or bundle weight for your unloading equipment. |
| Identification | Product, grade, dimensions and order reference on the agreed packing list. |
| Delivery | Confirm destination, transport method and delivery terms in the quotation. |
Certificates & verification documents
Request the original document issued for the supplying company, product scope and order. Material test reports and conformity documents are checked against the named holder, issuing body and validity period.
| Material test report | Heat or coil number, ordered grade, chemical composition and mechanical test results. |
|---|---|
| Inspection document | Specify the required EN 10204 document type and inspection scope in the enquiry. |
| Conformity documents | Request an original copy showing the issuing body, holder, number, applicable scope and validity. |
Frequently asked questions
What should I include in my enquiry?
Send the product, grade or standard, dimensions, quantity, required finish and destination. Describe the end use if the specification is still being developed.
Can I request a particular size or finish?
Yes, include your required size and finish in the enquiry. Availability and any processing requirements must be confirmed in the quotation.
How are minimum order and lead time confirmed?
They depend on grade, dimensions, processing and quantity. We confirm them for the particular order rather than publish one figure for every product.
What documents should I request?
State the material test document, inspection scope and other purchasing documents required for your project. Agree these with the order.
