Martensitic Stainless Steel

Martensitic stainless steel is a type of stainless steel alloy that has a martensite crystal structure. It can be hardened and tempered through aging and heat treatment. Its durability, strength, and corrosion resistance make martensitic steel a good choice for a variety of applications, like automotive, machinery parts, and saw blades, for products typically subjected to harsh environments and demanding applications.
