FAQs FAQs on Welding 4130 on Welding 4130 Gas-tungsten-arc welding AISI 4130—a chromium-molybdenum alloy—isn’t an everyday occurrence, but when you’re called to do it, follow the guidelines offered here to assure good-quality welds. by Wyatt Swaim Consultant, The Lincoln Electric Co. Cleveland, OH oted for its high-strength properties at high tempera- Ntures, AISI 4130, a chromium- molybdenum alloy steel, finds use in a variety of sporting applications such as experimental airplanes, rac- ing car frames, roll cages, go-carts, bicycles and motorcycle frames. Other uses include petrochemical and steam-tubing applications. Typically, this alloy contains about 0.30 percent carbon, putting it at the high end of the low-carbon al- loys—where welding begins to be- come difficult.
