I threw it at matweb and came back with nothing. You might consider telling us more about this stuff or take guests advice and break it down yourself. It sounds like you don't know what you have or what you want to do with it. Now, I'm going to get my second cup of coffee.

Try under 42 Cr Mo 4 for instance it is a german steel code with 0.4 % C alloy with Cr and Mo. Hardness depends on the C% and the temper after quenching. You can reach pretty high values but at cost of toughness. American equivalent 4030 or 4040 I think.

Sounds like Chrome Moly, good stuff, but it's been a long time since I played with those metals. I'll be at the coffee shop with the guy with all the initials.

A extremely rare, costly, and physically impossible material...

Yeah, the Cr4 part of the formula is a dead give away
