Grade route 02
Commonly used for mechanical parts, transmission shafts, and gear components.

Grade specifications
Cross-references are a starting point. The drawing standard, condition, size and inspection scope define the order.

RFQ checks
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.
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.
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.
