4150 is an oil-hardening steel of relatively high hardenability. This grade is especially suitable for forging because of hardness and high strength. 4150 is a combination of highly desirable properties including good strength and wear resistance, excellent toughness coupled with good ductility, and the ability to resist stress at elevated temperatures.
