RFQ checks

Questions buyers ask first.

Is 40Cr the same as 41Cr4 or SCr440?

40Cr, 41Cr4, and SCr440 are commonly reviewed as cross-reference grade names, but the required project standard should be stated first. Chemical, mechanical, delivery condition, and inspection details still need order-specific review.

Should 40Cr be ordered annealed, normalized, or QT?

The delivery condition depends on the part route and downstream process. Buyers should state whether they need annealed, normalized, QT, hot rolled, forged, or machined supply, plus any hardness or mechanical-property target.

What inspection points matter for 40Cr round bar?

Common inspection points include chemical composition, mechanical testing when specified, hardness target if required, dimensions, surface condition, MTC, traceability, and third-party inspection when the project requires it.
