36MnB4
1.5511Boron-alloyed cold heading steel — Mn 0.8-1.1%, B 0.0008-0.005%. Designed for cold-forged, then quenched & tempered high-strength fasteners (class 10.9). Good cold formability before heat treatment. Used for bolts, screws, studs, and rivets produced by cold heading followed by Q&T. Lower cost than CrMo grades for fastener applications.
