LESCALLOY 6305 VAC-ARC steel is a modified 4140 steel with higher molybdenum and a vanadium addition. The alloy steel is generally used in the 160/180,000 psi tensile strength range obtained with an 1100°F temper where good toughness is critical, such as jet engine shafts. It is produced by the consumable electrode vacuum arc remelting process to provide optimum cleanliness and preferred ingot structure. Information Provided by Timken Latrobe Steel.
