30CrMo4 (also known by its standard material number 1.7214) is a versatile, mid-carbon chromium-molybdenum alloy steel specified under the European standard EN 10083.
Sitting precisely between the lower-carbon 25CrMo4 (AISI 4130) and the higher-carbon 42CrMo4 (AISI 4140), 30CrMo4 is a through-hardening grade. It hits a highly sought-after "sweet spot" in mechanical engineering: it provides considerably higher tensile strength and yield performance than 4130, while maintaining better impact toughness, ductility, and weldability than 4140.
When cross-referencing this grade across international manufacturing prints and material tracking databases, it aligns closely with:
Germany (DIN / WNr): 30CrMo4 / 1.7214
USA (AISI/SAE): AISI 4130 / 4135 variants (Sits right on the border)
France (AFNOR): 30CD4
Japan (JIS): SCM430 / SCM432
Italy (UNI): 30CrMo4
The balanced addition of chromium and molybdenum ensures deep through-hardening capabilities during oil quenching, while the 0.30% carbon level keeps the material structurally resilient under shock loads.
| Carbon (C) | Chromium (Cr) | Molybdenum (Mo) | Manganese (Mn) | Silicon (Si) | Phosphorus (P) | Sulfur (S) |
| 0.26% 0.34% | 0.90% 1.20% | 0.15% 0.30% | 0.60% 0.90% | 0.40% | 0.025% | 0.035% |
30CrMo4 round and flat bars are most frequently utilized in the hardened and tempered condition. Depending on the final bar diameter ($d$), typical minimum values include:
Tensile Strength ($R_m$): 800 1100 MPa (N/mm)
Yield Strength ($R_{e}$): 550 650 MPa
Elongation ($A_5$): 12% 14%
Impact Toughness (Charpy-V): 45 J
Delivery Condition Hardness (Annealed): 223 HBW (Optimized for clean milling, sawing, and turning)
Optimized Toughness Profile: Because it contains less carbon than 4140, it exhibits excellent resistance to brittle fracture and crack propagation under cold-weather operational settings or sudden impact loads.
Surface Hardening Capabilities: If an application demands high wear resistance alongside high core toughness, 30CrMo4 responds exceptionally well to induction hardening or nitriding, reaching a case hardness profile of 5257 HRC.
Conditional Weldability: Unlike 42CrMo4, which requires incredibly intense thermal management to weld, 30CrMo4 can be welded with moderate preheating ($150text{C} - 250text{C}$) and standard post-weld stress-relief practices, lowering fabrication risks in high-stress structural assemblies.
30CrMo4 alloy bars are highly specified across fields where high fatigue resistance, torque handling, and light structural weldability must coexist:
Automotive & Motorsport: Axle shafts, high-load steering knuckles, connecting rods, and transmission input shafts.
Fasteners & Clamping: High-tensile structural tie rods, heavy-duty double-bolted clamps, engine studs, and specialized anchor bolts.
Power Generation & Machinery: Wind turbine component pins, compressor shafts, hydraulic cylinder rods, and high-pressure valve bodies.
Drilling & Oil Hardgoods: Subsurface tool joints, specialized drill collars, and heavy-duty structural couplings.
