Super stainless steel EN 1.4037 DIN X65Cr13, a popular choice for razor blades, medical scalpels,

and specialty blades, with the refined melting technology, it gives the fined mircrostructure,

work performance superior to 440C stainless steel, it's named razor blade steel, super stainless steel strip for blades

characterized by

• good smooth surface finish
• good blanking properties
• good hardening properties, high hardness, wear resistance
• good grinding 
• good corrosion resistance
