Description
68Cr17 (7Cr17 steel) is a Chinese high barbon chromium martensitic stainless steel with a higher quenching hardness than 2Cr13 steel. 7Cr17 stainless steel has high strength and hardness under quenching and tempering conditions, and has both stainless and corrosion resistance. Note: 68Cr17 is the new designation of 7Cr17, in other words, 68Cr17 = 7Cr17 steel. 7Cr17 Steel is generally used to manufacture corrosion-resistant parts such as knives, gauges, shafts, valves, and components that require corrosion and resistance to dilute oxidizing acids, organic acids and salts.
