Material Description:
Martensitic stainless steel. Very good strength, hardness, and wear resistance while offering some corrosion resistance. Magnetic. Less distortion typically with vacuum heat treat over that of oil quench. Often used for aerospace, automotive, cutlery, defense, power hand tools, sporting equipment industry, surgical instruments, and applications where high strength and hardness, and some corrosion resistance required.
