We supply martensitic stainless cold rolled steel strip in an annealed version with a ferritic microstructure

for better formability and subsequent piece hardening.

In addition, this material is also available in a version that has been rolled to increase its tensile strength, cold rolled state.

Martensitic stainless steel plays an important role in applications where both a high degree of corrosion resistance

and resistance to wear are required.

Martensitic stainless steels are particularly important for blades, cutting tools, mechanical parts, surgical instruments.

The compositional design of martensitic stainless steel strip material fundamentally determines its phase stability,

hardenability, and service performance across diverse operating conditions.

Modern alloy systems balance chromium content for passivity with carbon levels to achieve target hardness while incorporating strategic additions of nickel, molybdenum, copper, and microalloying elements to refine microstructure and enhance specific properties.

Element Molybdenum enhances pitting and crevice corrosion resistance in chloride environments while contributing to solid solution strengthening.

Element Vanadium forms thermally stable MC-type carbides that pin grain boundaries during austenitization,

preventing excessive grain growth and maintaining fine prior austenite grain sizes (ASTM grain size number ≥2.0) essential for toughness.

Typical grade EN 1.4116 DIN X50CrMoV15 stainless steel followed by DIN EN 10088-2 specification.
