High-hardness, soft-magnetic stainless steel

Our precipitation hardened ferritic stainless steel is the first in the world to be mass-produced, which defies the conventional wisdom that soft-magnetic stainless steels are also mechanically soft.

Features

  • High hardness makes it remarkably wear-resistant. Which means that hard Cr coating and other surface hardening treatment can be omitted.
  • This has a high mechanical strength.
  • It offers superior magnetic properties. One of the best quality soft-magnetic stainless steels of our line-up.
  • It offers superior corrosion resistance.
