The international Stainless Steel Forum has just published a new brochure about martensitic stainless steels (SS), which would be suitable for producers, stockists and end-users.
The brochure outlines how martensitic stainless steels are known for their excellent strength to weight ratio, strong corrosion resistance and hardness. For all of these reasons they are suitable for a wide variety of applications including knife steels because the material can hold a sharp edge.
The pamphlet includes research and information on both the current and potential applications as well as a technical introduction to the material. There are even testimonials from producers who discuss its value.
For your copy please visit the ISSF website.
