AB  - In material aspect, AISI 4140 steel is categorized into low alloy steel or steel having alloy #2.5 %. AISI
4140 is mostly used in components requiring good mechanical properties such as bucket teeth excavator.
However, hardness value of AISI 4140 material does not fulfill standard of bucket teeth (40 HRC). This is why
this research using Taguchi method aiming to search optimum hardness value based on its heat treatment is
conducted. Several factors influencing hardness value of AISI 4140 are hardening temperature (830, 850 and
880°C), holding time (30, 45 and 60 min), quenching media (oil, water, salt water) and tempering temperature (400,
500 and 600°C). From calculation using Taguchi method, optimum conditions in every level of factors are
hardening temperature is 830°C, restraint duration is 45 min, quenching media is oil and tempering temperature
is 400°C. Besides from ANOVA calculation, factors influencing ASI 4140 material hardness value are tempering
temperature (96%) and quenching media (1.5%). The result of confirmation experiment reveals that hardness
value of test result having optimum condition is 46.03 HRC. Mechanical properties of AISI 4140 material
obtained from test result with optimum condition is 1515.745 N/mm<sup>2</sup> % elongation is 12.7% and impact strength
is 5.67 kg/cm<sup>2</sup>.
