16Cr Martensitic Stainless (var. 8)

metal

16Cr Martensitic Stainless Steel (variant 8) is a high-carbon, cobalt-molybdenum-reinforced martensitic stainless steel engineered for extreme hardness and wear resistance. The elevated carbon, vanadium, and cobalt additions—combined with controlled chromium and molybdenum content—create a material designed for demanding cutting, stamping, and high-stress applications where corrosion resistance must be balanced with very high strength. This composition sits in the high-performance tool steel family, favored in aerospace, industrial tooling, and precision manufacturing where traditional stainless grades lack sufficient hardness.

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.
