CPM MagnaCut Stainless Tool Steel

CPM MagnaCut is a unique powder metallurgy stainless tool steel with a design which eliminates chromium carbide in the heat treated microstructure.

An excellent combination of toughness and wear resistance is achieved by having only small, high hardness, vanadium and niobium carbides, giving CPM MagnaCut properties similar to non-stainless steel CPM 4V.

Being free from chromium carbide with a chromium level of 10.7% also leads to improved corrosion resistance.

This product offers an excellent combination of properties for knives.

Typical chemistry:

C - 1.15%, Cr - 10.7%, V - 4%, Mb - 2%, Nb - 2%, N - .20%
