1) Remark: Steel 36CrNiMo4 is suitable for high loaded components with high heat-treatment sections and favorable toughness properties in aircraft and heavy-vehicle construction, machine engineering (propeller shafts, connecting rods, transmission shafts). Furthermore for large forged parts (e.g. rotors, shafts, discs). Lowest working temperature -40 °C.
