10Cr Martensitic Stainless

metal

10Cr martensitic stainless steel is a high-carbon, chromium-molybdenum alloy strengthened by vanadium and cobalt additions, designed to achieve exceptional hardness and wear resistance through martensitic heat treatment. It is primarily used in demanding cutting tool, die, and bearing applications where edge retention and resistance to abrasive wear outweigh the need for high toughness or corrosion resistance. The significant carbon and vanadium content make this alloy notably harder and more wear-resistant than standard martensitic stainless steels (like 420 or 440C), though with correspondingly lower impact resistance and more challenging machinability—engineers select it when maximum hardness and tool life justify these tradeoffs.

RoHS, REACH, and Prop 65 statuses are validated against official substance lists (ECHA SVHC Candidate List, OEHHA Prop 65, RoHS Annex II). Other regulations are estimated from composition and material classification. All screening is a starting point for due diligence — always verify with your supplier before making compliance decisions.
