It is a stainless steel that can achieve very high strength and can have a wide range of mechanical properties by adjusting the tempering conditions.
Stainless steel which has a higher Carbon content than ferritic stainless steel, and can be hardened by quenching (heat treatment) to create a martensitic structure.
■SUS420J2 is classified as a martensitic stainless steel, and although it is a stainless steel, can be hardened through quenching and tempering heat treatment. Because of its marketability, price, and usability, it is widely used in various fields.
Our annealed finish makes the carbides completely spheroidized, making processing easier and has excellent hardenability.
■RB-S is classified as a martensitic stainless steel, and although it is a stainless steel, can be hardened through quenching and tempering heat treatment.
With a higher Carbon content compared to SUS420J2, great hardening occurs during quenching, it has the highest level of hardness among stainless steels. Because it is quite hard even after annealing, less suitable for complex processing, but it is an ideal material for blades.
■RB-X is classified as a martensitic stainless steel, and although it is a stainless steel, can be hardened through quenching and tempering heat treatment.
It has superior corrosion resistance than RB-S due to higher Chromium content and addition of Nickel and Molybdenum. Because its Carbon content is slightly lower than RB-S, the hardness after quenching is slightly lower.
