[QUOTE="sootie, post: 840342, member: 8162"] i'm not into all the technicalities but i frequently break AR400 on the press brake. we make wear components out of AR400/450/500 and and we make machined parts like axles, stub shafts etc out of 4140HT/4340HT i have applied enough torque to twist 4340HT like butter, what i have found is with 4140 and 4340, the metal is very consistent which is quite condusive to machining. the wear plate goes through a different process and is quite inconsistent. i'm just cautioning you-wear plate in a machined part like a con rod is not that cool.
