Ultra-high-strength NiCrMo Q&T steel — Ni 3.5-4.5%, the highest-Ni standard QT grade. UTS 1250-1450 MPa. Maximum through-hardenability for the largest cross-sections (300mm+). Used for the heaviest crankshafts, large forged rotors, press columns, and critical structural forgings in energy and defense. Comparable to AISI 4340 but with higher Ni.
