EN 10083-3 42CrMoS4 is a resulphurized chromium-molybdenum alloy steel grade developed for applications requiring very high strength, excellent hardenability, and improved machinability. With a nominal carbon content of approximately 0.42%, this grade delivers superior tensile strength and wear resistance after quenching and tempering, while the addition of sulphur (S) enhances machining efficiency compared to 42CrMo4. Manufactured in accordance with EN 10083-3, 42CrMoS4 steel is widely used in heavy-duty engineering applications where components must withstand high stress and dynamic loading. Chromium improves hardenability and wear resistance, while molybdenum increases strength and resistance to tempering softening. Ladhani Metal Corporation is a leading manufacturer, supplier, and exporter of EN 10083-3 42CrMoS4 alloy steel bars, supplied with mill test certificates and strict quality assurance as per international standards. Forms of Supply (as per grade): Hot rolled round bars, Black round bars, Forged bars, Bright bars, Peeled bars, Turned bars, Ground bars, Square bars, Flat bars, Hex bars Explanation of Designation (42CrMoS4): • 42 – Approx. 0.42% carbon content • Cr – Chromium for improved hardenability and wear resistance • Mo – Molybdenum for enhanced strength and resistance to tempering softening • S – Resulphurized for improved machinability • 4 – Indicates alloying content range as per EN standard Chemical Composition (% – typical limits): • Carbon (C): 0.38 – 0.45 • Manganese (Mn): 0.60 – 0.90 • Silicon (Si): ≤ 0.40 • Chromium (Cr): 0.90 – 1.20 • Molybdenum (Mo): 0.15 – 0.30 • Sulphur (S): 0.020 – 0.040 • Phosphorus (P): ≤ 0.025 Mechanical Properties (Typical, quenched & tempered condition): • Tensile Strength: 1000 – 1200 MPa • Yield Strength: ≥ 850 MPa • Elongation: ≥ 9 – 11% • Hardness: 280 – 340 HB (depending on section size and heat treatment) Key Features: • Very high tensile and yield strength • Excellent hardenability for thick sections • Improved machinability compared to 42CrMo4 • Good fatigue and impact resistance • Suitable for heavy-duty, precision-machined components Material Characteristics: EN 10083-3 42CrMoS4 alloy steel bar combines the high strength and deep hardening capability of chromium-molybdenum steel with enhanced machinability due to sulphur addition. It ensures consistent mechanical properties across large cross-sections and performs reliably under cyclic and heavy loads. Applications: • Heavy-duty shafts and axles • Gear shafts and transmission components • Crankshafts and connecting rods • High-strength bolts and studs • Oil and gas equipment parts • Construction and mining machinery components Conclusion: Ladhani Metal Corporation supplies premium quality EN 10083-3 42CrMoS4 alloy steel bars in a wide range of diameters and finishes.
