AISI 4340 Steel, normalized, 13 mm (0.5 in.) round
Categories:	Metal; Ferrous Metal; Alloy Steel; AISI 4000 Series Steel; Low Alloy Steel; Carbon Steel; Medium Carbon Steel
Material Notes:	Normalized: heated to 870°C, air cooled. AISI 4340 has a favorable response to heat treatment (usually oil quenching followed by tempering) and exhibits a good combination of ductility and strength when treated thusly. Uses include piston pins, bearings, ordnance, gears, dies, and pressure vessels.
