About AISI/SAE 41xx chromium-molybdenum steels
41xx grades are low-alloy steels with chromium and molybdenum. They harden deeper and tougher than plain carbon grades and weld reasonably well. 4130 is the standard for aircraft tubing and pressure vessels; 4140 covers shafts, gears, and high-strength fasteners.
