0.70C 9.7Cr-0.9Mo-0.5V-4.6Ni Low Alloy Steel
metalThis is a high-carbon, high-chromium low-alloy steel with significant cobalt and nickel additions, designed for demanding applications requiring exceptional hardness and wear resistance combined with toughness. The composition—particularly the 0.70% carbon, 9.7% chromium, and 12.3% cobalt—places this steel in the tool steel or super-hard alloy family, typical of specialty steels used where extreme service conditions demand both edge retention and fracture resistance. Such alloys are employed in cutting tools, dies, and wear-critical components in aerospace, automotive, and manufacturing sectors where conventional alloys would fail; the cobalt addition is especially characteristic of premium cutting tool steels that maintain hardness at elevated temperatures.
