1.4034
X46Cr13
stainless steel; corrosion resistant steel; martensite; plastic mould steel
Medical & pharmaceutical technology, Vehicle construction & e-mobility
The material 1.4034 is a martensitic chromium steel with good mechanical properties. Due to the increased carbon content, it has even better hardenability than the reference material 1.4031.
