16Cr Martensitic Stainless (var. 14)

metal

A high-carbon, cobalt-strengthened martensitic stainless steel with significant molybdenum and vanadium additions, designed to achieve very high hardness and strength while maintaining stainless corrosion resistance. This is a specialty tool steel variant optimized for applications requiring exceptional wear resistance and dimensional stability at elevated temperatures, commonly found in precision cutting tools, gauges, and demanding industrial components where both hardness and corrosion resistance are critical. The elevated cobalt content (11.2%) and vanadium contribution distinguish this from standard 16Cr martensitic grades, making it a premium choice for applications where tool life and reliability justify the material cost.

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.
