4140 replacement
- Thread starter gwjohnson
- Start date
Some ideas:
4340 has more alloying elements in it that would reduce permeability & saturation.
If you can cold work the 4140 more, that'll also achieve what you are looking for.
Some of the 400 series or duplex stainless steels might work too.
Good luck,
Mike

Why not make the part smaller to increase leakage? Or build in a controlled air gap? Using alloys that are not manufactured to magnetic quality requirements to control you system is a bad idea.
