a high performance martensitic grade EN 1.4116 DIN X50CrMoV15, ideal for knife blades, instruments.

Stainless grade X50CrMoV15 offers

High hardness
Reaches up to 57 HRC (Rockwell C) – ideal for precision edge retention.

Superior blade sharpness retention
Delivers long-lasting cutting performance.

Improved corrosion resistance
Outperforms traditional 13% chromium martensitic stainless grades, thanks to its enhanced chemistry.

Higher Chromium and Molybdenum addition increases corrosion resistance.
Element vanadium supports higher tempering temperatures and improves overall toughness.
