Regarding point no:6
4130 is the original "chrome moly" steel. Still one of the most widely
used aircraft grade low alloy steels because of its combinations of
weldability, ease of fabrication, and mild hardenability from heat
treatment. In thin sections, can be hardened and tempered to high
strength levels, although caution is advised here. In its most widely
used normalized heat treat condition, it has good strength levels in
the 90,000-125,000 psi tensile range (Rc20-27) Excellent weldability
for an aircraft alloy. Can be case hardened by nitriding,
carbonitriding and at times carburizing. Needs surface finishing for
corrosion protection. Standard surface prep before plating. Can be
very susceptible to hydrogen embrittlement in the very high heat treat
conditions > Rc 36.? Many times used as a casting alloy, although now
being replaced by PH grade stainless steels.
Welding of AISI 4130 to API 5L Gr.B
Preheat: 150 DegC
Preheat Maintenance: 150 Deg C
Interpass: 250 Deg C
Consumables: ER 80SB2+E 8018-B2 (GTAW+SMAW)
PWHT: 650-700 Deg C (Holding 1Hr/inch)
Heat Input: 1.5 KJ/mm (maximum)
Hope the above information is useful.
Cheers!
