4130 Chromoly Products

4130 Chromoly is often used when additional strength and tighter tolerances are needed. 4130 is great for sleeving and bending, making it ideal for fabricating structures where formability is key. The word Chromoly is derived from the combination of chromium and molybdenum, two of Chromoly’s main elements. It is an AISI 4130—Alloy steel grade 4130 metal.

Competitive Metals is a leading supplier of 4130 Chromoly tubing, bar, sheet, and plate. All our available Chromoly steel is sold by the foot and may be ordered cut to size. While we maintain a large stock of Chromoly products, we understand that your application may require a custom size or shape. We’re happy to work with you to source specialty items to meet your custom specifications.

Our High-Quality Stock of Chromoly Steel


4130 Chromoly Round Tube

Chromoly round tubing is typically used in automotive chassis, bicycle frames, crankshafts, and more. It is available for purchase by the foot up to 10’. Our 4130 round tubing features:
  • Sizes from .375” up to 4” OD.
  • Wall thicknesses from .032” up to .500”.
  • Non-standard random lengths from 17’ to 24’.

4130 Chromoly Round Bar

Chromoly steel round bars are typically applied in aerospace applications, motorsports chassis, gears, fasteners, and more. Competitive Metals stocks round bars in 12’ lengths, but it may be purchased by the foot up to 6’. We stock sizes from .250” OD up to 2 ½” OD.
 

4130 Chromoly Sheet & Plate

Metal sheet and plate made from 4130 Chromoly are typically used in industries such as aerospace and motorsports. All Competitive Metals’ sheet and plate materials are normalized to remove the internal stress within the steel and create a more ductile tensile strength. Our Chromoly sheet and plate feature:
  • Sheet thicknesses from .040” to .500”.
  • Stock sheet sizes from 36”x72” and 36”x144”.
  • Able to be purchased in 12”x36” increments.

Industrial Applications for Chromoly Metal

Chromoly is commonly found in airplane fuselages, bike frames, car roll cages, and other applications requiring a strong material with high durability. It is frequently used to create pipes used in situations with high temperatures. Chromoly is often more expensive to manufacture and process, reflecting the steel’s excellent performance capabilities.

Features of Chromoly Steel

The combination of chrome and molybdenum gives Chromoly a specific set of features. The additional chromium increases the strength (hardenability) and corrosion resistance in the metal material. The molybdenum makes the steel tougher. While Chromoly is easy to weld, it does require a few more considerations than standard steel or stainless steel metals due to the heightened strength of the material.

Advantages of Using Chromoly

Chromoly is a versatile steel grade alloy that can function in a variety of applications. It is malleable, resistant to scaling and oxidation, and produces a smooth and clean finish. Chrome moly metal produces an end-result with greater tensile strength when compared to other alloys.
