     Gateway 4150 PH
         
Prehardened Alloy
Tool Steel Gateway 4150 PH is a prehardened, high -quality alloy steel intended for all
mechanical uses where improved machinability, uniform hardness and excellent flatness
are required,  Product hardness range is 262-321 Brinell (28-32 HRC).
                   
Typical Chemistry Carbon 0.50 Silicon 0.25
Manganese 1.00 Chromium 0.90
Phosphorous .035 max Vanadium 0.01
Sulfur .040 max Molybdenum 0.15
                   
Applications Suitable for use in many applications including shafts, machinery spindles, gears, and machinery parts.
   
Heat treating information is provided below for material requested in the annealed condition.
                   
Stress Relief Heat slowly and uniformly to 900/1000 F and soak for two hours.  Air cool to furnace cool to room temperature.
 
                   
Annealing It is recommended that Gateway 4150 PH be annealed prior to rehardening.  Heat slowly and uniformly to 1550 F for two hours. 
Cool slowly (50 F per hour max) to 1200 F, and air cool.
 
                   
Heat Treating Gateway 4150 PH may be heat treated to higher levels of hardness for higher strength.
Preheat to 1300/1350 F and hold for one hour.  Heat to 1550/1575 F and soak one half hour when material is up to temperature. 
Oil quench below 200 F and temper immediately. 
                   
Tempering Temper one hour per inch of section thickness with a minimum of two hours to desired hardness.
Representative hardness levels after tempering are tabulated below.
                       Oil Quenched from 1600 F * Tempered 4 hours  
                  (Section Size - 1" dia)
Tempering Temperature (F) Hardness (HRC)
900 36
1000 34
1100 29
1200 26
1300 23
   
Note: Variations in section size, heating rate, soak time, quench rate and tempering will cause deviations from the above values. 
Gateway Metals should be consulted for specific applications.
