German Steel 1.4116
German steel 1.4116 is a high quality stainless steel that is often used in the production of knives, especially kitchen knives. This type of steel is popular due to its balanced properties, which are important for sharpness, corrosion resistance and overall knife durability.
Composition and properties of 1.4116 steel:
Carbon: 0.45-0.55% - This level of carbon provides sufficient hardness for knives without making the steel too brittle.
Chromium (Cr): 14-15% - Provides high corrosion resistance, one of the key properties of stainless steels.
Molybdenum (Mo): 0.5-0.8% - Helps increase corrosion resistance and improves steel strength.
Vanadium (V): small amounts contribute to improved hardness and wear resistance.
