GOST 35KhM (written in Cyrillic as 35) is a high-performance, heat-resistant, and relaxation-resistant chromium-molybdenum alloy steel specified under the Russian Interstate Standard GOST 4543.
With a carbon profile positioned around 0.35%, 35KhM is engineered primarily as a structural through-hardening and high-temperature alloy. In post-Soviet and Eastern European industrial engineering, it is heavily relied upon for machinery operating under steep mechanical stress, high rotation speeds, and continuous thermal loads reaching up to 450C 500C.
When translating a GOST blueprint or technical bill of materials to Western or Asian production standards, 35KhM aligns closely with:
USA (AISI/SAE): AISI 4135 / AISI 4137 (Sits right on the border)
Germany (DIN / WNr): 34CrMo4 / 1.7220 or 35CrMo4
Europe (EN): 34CrMo4
China (GB): 35CrMo
Japan (JIS): SCM432 / SCM435 variants
Poland (PN): 35HM
The designation tells the exact chemical story:35 ($0.35%$ Carbon),Kh ($text{}$ - Chromium), and M ($text{}$ - Molybdenum). Molybdenum prevents the "temper brittleness" that commonly affects standard chromium steels when subjected to continuous operational heat.
| Carbon (C) | Chromium (Cr) | Molybdenum (Mo) | Manganese (Mn) | Silicon (Si) | Nickel (Ni) | Copper (Cu) |
| 0.32% 0.40% | 0.80% 1.10% | 0.15% 0.25% | 0.40% 0.70% | 0.17% 0.37% | 0.30% | 0.30% |
When supplied or treated via oil quenching ($approx 850text{C} - 880text{C}$) followed by high-temperature drawing/tempering ($approx 585text{C} - 650text{C}$), a typical $varnothing 25text{mm}$ test bar exhibits these minimum mechanical metrics:
Tensile Strength ($sigma_b$): 930 MPa (N/mm)
Yield Strength ($sigma_t$): 735 835 MPa
Elongation ($delta_5$): 12% 13%
Reduction of Area ($psi$): 42% 45%
Impact Toughness (KCU): 650 780 kJ/m
Delivery Condition Hardness (Annealed): Max 241 HBW (Optimized for precision peeling and turning)
Relaxation Resistance: Under sustained high thermal conditions and mechanical loading, many structural steels undergo "stress relaxation" (a gradual loss of elastic tension). 35KhM is explicitly structured to resist this, making it ideal for high-pressure connection parts.
Flake Susceptibility: Like many deep-hardening Cr-Mo steels, 35KhM can be predisposed to hydrogen flakes (internal micro-cracking) during cooling post-forging if cooling rates aren't strictly controlled by the mill.
Limited Weldability: Due to its mid-carbon content, it is categorized as possessing limited weldability. Fabrications require preheating ($150text{C} - 250text{C}$) and subsequent post-weld heat treatment (PWHT) to avoid severe cracking inside the heat-affected zone.
35KhM round and square bars are primarily sourced for high-torque or high-pressure applications where components run hot or fast:
Heavy Machinery & Aerospace: High-speed turbine spindles, transmission shafts, heavy-duty gear sets, and engine rotors.
Petrochemical & Pipeline Infrastructures: High-integrity flanges, processing valve stems, and thick-walled stage connectors.
High-Load Fasteners: Creep-resistant stud bolts, heavy-duty nuts, structural tie-rods, and specialized double-bolted industrial clamping hardware.
