25CrS4
1.7036Free-cutting variant of 25Cr4 — S 0.020-0.040%. Low-C Cr QT steel for CNC automatics. Good combination of machinability, moderate strength (UTS 750-900 MPa), and toughness. Used for bolts, studs, shafts, and automotive components where Cr-only hardenability with machinability is needed at lower cost than CrMo grades.
