AISI 4135 (35CrMo)
Cr-Mo quench-and-temper alloy steel — the lower-carbon version of 4140 (42CrMo4). Lower C (0.33-0.38%) gives better weldability and toughness than 4140 with slightly lower strength. Primarily a US/ASTM designation. Used for drill pipe, tubing, couplings, and oil field applications where weldability matters more than maximum strength.
