in accordance with ISO 9001:2000 Cert # 05-R0925 ALLOY DESCRIPTION AND APPLICATION; 4340 is a Chromium-molybdenum low alloy wire that will produce a dense, heat-treatable deposit. This alloy is used to weld AISI/SAE 4340 and 4330 and other heat-treatable alloys or base metals needing flame hardening. Preheat and inter-pass recommended and may also need followed by post heat treating.
