EN 1.7335 (13CrMo4-5) Chromium-Molybdenum Steel

EN 1.7335 steel is an alloy steel formulated for primary forming into wrought products. 1.7335 is the EN numeric designation for this material. 13CrMo4-5 is the EN chemical designation. It has a moderately high density and can have a very low tensile strength among EN wrought alloy steels.

The properties of EN 1.7335 steel include two common variations. This page shows summary ranges across both of them. For more specific values, follow the links immediately below. The graph bars on the material properties cards further below compare EN 1.7335 steel to: EN wrought alloy steels (top), all iron alloys (middle), and the entire database (bottom). A full bar means this is the highest value in the relevant set. A half-full bar means it's 50% of the highest, and so on.
