AISI 4145 (80 KSI / 110 KSI)
AISI 4145 API Grade: Deep-Hardening Alloy for Downhole Tooling. Maximum hardenability and torque resistance for the world’s most demanding boreholes.

AISI 4145 (80 KSI / 110 KSI)
AISI 4145 is a high-hardenability variation of the 41xx series, featuring increased carbon content (0.45% nominal). This allows the material to achieve consistent mechanical properties through larger diameters (up to 10" and above), which is critical for heavy-walled drilling tools.
