会社のニュース 42CrMo4 vs. 42CrMo: Which Material Fits Your Forging Application?

In the forging industry, both 42CrMo4 and 42CrMo are highly favored chromium-molybdenum steels, but choosing the right one depends on the application and market requirements

42CrMo4 is widely specified in European projects. It is often used in wind power gear shafts, offshore engineering parts, and heavy-duty gears where international EN standard certification is mandatory.

42CrMo, following the Chinese GB standard, is frequently used in domestic heavy machinery, mining, and port equipment manufacturing. Its reliable performance and easier local availability make it cost-effective for projects within Asia.

Both materials provide high strength, wear resistance, and toughness. For multinational buyers, the choice often comes down to compliance and certification requirements. Working with a supplier capable of providing both grades ensures flexibility and efficiency across global projects.
