Materials
Specialty Steels
High-Tech Particle Metallurgy Specialty Steel featuring the highest wear resistance available in steel today. Its expectional wear resistance and combined moderate toughness offer the user increased productivity while reducing costly downtime and resharpening expenses. Excellent flex knife material.
E-HV-575
Particle Metallurgy Specialty Steel that offers users a unique combination of very high corrosion resistance and high wear resistance for applications that are exposed to corrosive and abrasive materials.
E-C-12
High Carbon High Chrome Specialty Steel with good wear resistance, low medium toughness and moderate corrosion resistance.
E-HV-900
Particle Metallurgy Specialty Steel possessing high-wear resistance combined with medium toughness. An excellent choice for applications requiring improved toughness over E-HV-975, E-LV-2 and E-HV-575 steels, especially anvils.
E-LV-2
​High Speed Specialty Steel offering reasonably high wear resistance, low medium toughness and moderate costs. This combination makes it a choice for many applications.
E-C-5
High Carbon High Chrome Specialty Steel with high toughness and medium wear resistance properties but low corrosion resistance.
Submicron Carbide
Submicron Tungsten/Colbalt Carbide with outstanding wear resistance but low toughness as compared to other carbide grades.
