15Cr Martensitic Stainless (var. 2)

metal

This is a high-carbon martensitic stainless steel heavily alloyed with cobalt, tungsten, molybdenum, and vanadium—a composition typical of premium tool steels and high-speed steels rather than conventional stainless grades. The 15% chromium content provides corrosion resistance while the interstitial elements (carbon, nitrogen) and refractory additions (W, Mo, V, Co) create an extremely hard, wear-resistant microstructure suited to extreme-duty cutting and forming applications. This variant represents a research or specialized production composition optimized for applications demanding both corrosion resistance and exceptional hardness, positioning it between conventional martensitic stainless steels and cobalt-based superalloys.

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.
