A high-carbon martensitic stainless steel (16% Cr base) heavily alloyed with cobalt (~13%), molybdenum, and vanadium, designed for extreme hardness and wear resistance through precipitation hardening. This is a premium tool steel or specialty high-performance stainless, used where conventional martensitic stainless grades cannot deliver the required hardness, edge retention, or corrosion resistance simultaneously—notably in demanding cutting, stamping, and high-stress applications that require both toughness and corrosion protection.
