4330 MOD Alloy Steel - AMS 6411 VAR - UNSK23080

4330 MOD VAR AMS 6411 is AISI 4330 Steel modified with the addition of Vanadium. It is a low alloy steel capable of being heat treated to high strength levels. Vanadium is added to improve impact strength and hardenability. This is a premium aircraft quality steel usually produced as a consumable electrode remelted product (VAR). AMS 6411 also allows the 2nd melt to be ESR (Electro-Slag Remelting) when specified by the end-user.

4330 Mod VAR Alloy Steel Applications:

Aerospace applications are those requiring high tensile strength and good ductility, coupled with high impact strength, superior transverse properties, and hardness. The carbon content lower than AISI 4340 makes this grade useful for applications that involve shock loading or stress concentration.
