Corrosion resistant steels - Martensitic, semi-martensitic and ferritic steels

Ferritic steels with higher Chromium and Molybdenum contents are mostly used for thin-walled products in corrosive media in all industrial sectors. Martensitic and semi-martensitic steels with Chromium contents of approx. 12 to 18% and Molybdenum and Nickel achieve high strength and good wear resistance through heat treatment. The main areas of application are cutlery and mechanical engineering.
