25CrMoS4
1.7213Free-cutting variant of 25CrMo4 (1.7218) — sulfur addition (0.020-0.040%) for improved chip formation on CNC automatics. Same mechanical properties after Q&T. THE high-volume CrMo steel for CNC-machined automotive parts where cycle time matters. Used for transmission shafts, steering components, bolts, and any 25CrMo4 application produced on automatic lathes.
