High hardening is possible with low-temperature heat treatment at 460℃! It also contributes to the simplification of the processing process.
"Silicoroy XVI" is a precipitation-hardened stainless steel that excels in the balance of high hardness and high corrosion resistance. In addition to a high-silicon, ultra-low carbon composition, it employs a new mechanism to precipitate hard intermetallic compounds, making it a new material distinct from hardened steel types. It possesses high hardness equivalent to 56-58 HRC and corrosion resistance comparable to SUS304. Additionally, we offer "Silicoroy metal powder," suitable for powder bed fusion (metal 3D printing) and thermal spraying. [Features] ■ High functionality with high hardness and high corrosion resistance → Precipitation of hard intermetallic compounds from ultra-low carbon, silicon-based materials ■ Low dimensional changes during heat treatment → High hardness achieved through low-temperature aging heat treatment ■ Suppression of aging changes due to ultra-low residual austenite → Ultra-low carbon content of 0.02% ■ Flexibility in heat treatment design → Easy fine-tuning of hardness *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

Company information
Silicolloy is a revolutionary new material that contains a large amount of silicon (silicon) and was developed using pure domestic technology. Silicolloy is a super alloy that possesses high strength, heat resistance (high-temperature oxidation resistance), corrosion resistance, wear resistance, high hardness, and low dimensional changes during heat treatment, all in one steel. Currently, many engineers (technicians and designers) are advancing its commercialization, contributing to new product development and total cost reduction through extended product lifespan. There are 'Silicolloy A2', which excels in overall balance as a precipitation-hardened stainless steel, and 'Silicolloy XVI', which has the highest hardness in the world as a precipitation-hardened type. Those who require both corrosion resistance and high hardness should definitely take note! In 2025, a new material called 'Axia Zero Series' will be developed. This new material is a precipitation-hardened stainless steel that not only has high corrosion resistance and high hardness but also high strength and high durability. 'Axia Zero3' achieves high hardness of 56-58 HRC, high corrosion resistance equivalent to austenitic types, and high strength in the 2000 MPa range. It features hardness obtained through precipitation hardening treatment at 480°C, which minimizes deformation and dimensional changes due to heat treatment and resolves various issues related to quenching.
