Steel HP 9-4-20
View AMS Numbers >HP 9-4-20 typically has Yield Strength (YS) of 200-205 KSI, but there are other properties that have desirable values such as through-hardening, Charpy Impact Toughness of 84ft-lbs and elongation values of 14 to 18%. The YS value can be driven up approaching 235ksi; however, the fracture toughness value falls off quickly.
