sae 4140 steel VS 4130 Steel welding properties

4130 have lower Carbon composition, so 4130 is easier welding than AISI 4140 steel. And 4130 have
lower Manganese than 4140. So 4130’s Wear-resisting performance is lower than 4140.

sae 4140 VS 4130 Steel Rust resistance properties

4140 steel have higher carbon, but sae 4140 have higher Mn composition. so their rust is very same.
