7Cr17MoV Steel: Properties, Composition, And Uses
The .7% Carbon content gives the 7Cr17MoV its characteristic name starting with 7. Chromium Cr 18.00%: More than 11% of Chromium is what makes 7Cr17MoV "stainless" steel. Chromium increases the hardness, tensile strength, and toughness of the blade. Molybdenum Mo 1.30%: Improves machinability and corrosion resistance.
