Flame hardening is a surface hardening process used on medium carbon mild or alloy steels (such as 1045, 4140, 4340), or cast irons, to produce a hard wear resistant surface (case) on the part.
CAN 4140 steel be hardened?
AISI 4140 alloy steel can be hardened by cold working, or heating and quenching.
Can you heat treat 4140?
4140 responds readily to heat treatment and is comparatively easy to machine in the heat treated condition. 4140 resists creep in temperatures up to 1000° F and maintains its properties even after long exposure at these relatively high working temperatures.
