Elmax powder steel knives

Uddeholm Elmax — one of the best tool powder steels with high corrosion resistance. It is produced by the Austrian-Swedish concern Böhler-Uddeholm using the technology of powder metallurgy of the third generation (superclean), which means increased purity and viscosity, as well as small carbides that contribute to very efficient cutting. Due to the high content of chromium (18%) and molybdenum (1%) in the composition of the alloy, ELMAX steel is very well suited for making cutting parts of tools from it. Elmax Steel it is not capricious in sharpening, it holds it for a long time. With high-quality heat treatment, it always surpasses analogues in viscosity, it is resistant to the external environment. Such a complex of properties provides excellent properties for knives and blades made of it. Of the closest analogues, we can note the CPM S30V steel. The characteristic operating range of the blade hardness of Elmax: 59-62 HRc.

Composition of Elmax steel: C(1.70)Cr(18.00)Mo(1.00) Mn(0.35) V(3.00)Si(0.80)+supplements
