Where are induction hardened chromed shaft and SAE4140 hard chrome bar be used?

Golden Asia is a professional manufacturer of cylinder tube, seamless carbon steel, hard chrome piston rod, induction hardened chromed shaft and SAE4140 hard chrome bar for hydraulic cylinder and pneumatic cylinder.

In order to satisfy varieties industry, such as heavy machinery, the industry of hydraulics, mining and agricultural machinery, Golden Asia devotes to providing different mechanical properties of piston rod, such as induction hardened, quenched and tempered.



  • Induction hardened piston rod


    The process of induction hardening can enhance the mechanical properties of ferrous and alloy components in a specific part. Typically, the material of doing induction hardening includes 1045, 20MnV6, 4140 and 4340. First, the piston rod will be put into a copper coil, and it’s heated by alternating current. Then, the outer surface of the piston rod will be heated to a temperature above the transformation range. After that, the piston rod will be tempered immediately to adjust the hardness level. The final surface hardness of the piston rod will be HRC 55° ± 2°, and the hardened depth is from 0.5mm to 1.5mm.

    Compared with the standard piston rod, the induction hardened one increases its hardness, wear resistance and fatigue life. Thus, it is ideal for gears, crankshafts and drive shafts. Golden Asia supplies complete piston rod sizes from 6mm to 255mm.

  • SAE 4140 quenched and tempered piston rod


    The quenching and tempering process can strengthen materials and improve mechanical properties, and the process can be applied to ferrous and alloy components, such as 4140 and 4340. The quenching and tempering process heats the piston rod to extreme temperature first. Then, the piston rod will be cooling by water, air, oil or using inert gases such as nitrogen. In the whole process, the heating temperature and cooling method should be examined precisely, because different variations have an influence on material strength. The quenching and tempering process makes piston rod much tougher, more ductile and less brittle.
    The piston rod with quenched and tempered has greater strength and abrasion resistant. Hence, Golden Asia recommends SAE 4140 quenched and tempered piston rod to use in construction application, such as dumping truck and mining equipment. Our standard size of SAE 4140 quenched and tempered piston rod ranges from 10mm to 200mm.
