13Cr Martensitic Stainless (var. 8)

metal

13Cr martensitic stainless steel is a chromium-based iron alloy strengthened through martensitic transformation and precipitation hardening via cobalt and molybdenum additions. This variant exhibits an unusually high carbon content (0.925%) combined with cobalt alloying (14.3%), positioning it for demanding applications requiring exceptional hardness and wear resistance alongside corrosion protection. It competes with premium tool steels and specialty stainless grades in applications where both toughness and corrosion resistance must be balanced against cost and machinability constraints.

Quality & Standards

Industry-Specific

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.
