16Cr Martensitic Stainless (var. 6)
metal16Cr Martensitic Stainless Steel (var. 6) is a high-carbon, cobalt-strengthened martensitic stainless steel alloyed with molybdenum and vanadium for exceptional hardness and wear resistance. This material is engineered for demanding applications requiring both corrosion resistance and extreme strength, particularly in tooling, high-performance cutting applications, and specialized industrial components where standard martensitic grades fall short. The elevated cobalt and carbon content, combined with molybdenum and vanadium carbide formers, make this variant notable for applications demanding superior edge retention and fatigue performance in corrosive or high-stress environments.
