1.7227 (DIN EN ISO 683-2 : 2018-09)	1.7227	DIN EN ISO 683-2 : 2018-09	Supersedes DIN EN 10083-3 : 2007-01	Valid	Germany	42CrMoS4	1.1	1)
1) Remark: Steel 42CrMoS4 is applicable for high loaded parts with high wear resistance and very favorable core properties as well as improved workability in vehicle manufacturing, engine and machine engineering (e.g. crankshafts, pinions, balancer shafts). The steel shows high resistivity to static and dynamic load.
