16Cr Martensitic Stainless (var. 4)

metal

16Cr Martensitic Stainless Steel (variant 4) is a high-carbon, cobalt-reinforced martensitic stainless steel engineered for extreme hardness and wear resistance through precipitation hardening. The elevated carbon content (0.8%), vanadium, molybdenum, and significant cobalt addition (13.1%) create a material optimized for applications demanding superior strength and edge retention, positioning it between conventional tool steels and premium stainless grades. This composition suggests a specialized tool or wear-resistant application steel, chosen where corrosion resistance must coexist with the hardness and toughness typically reserved for non-stainless martensitic alloys.

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.
