6Cr14 belongs to martensitic stainless steel. 6Cr14 has usually been used to produce cutlery (kitchen knives and scissors) and medical appliances, such as scalpel, hemostat and so on. This kind of martensitic stainless steel grades are mainly 2Cr13, 3Cr13, 6Cr13, 7Cr17. As knives and scissors should have the function of cutting items, they are required to be sharp, and sharpness needs hardness. After heat treatment, the internal structure of this kind of steel will be transformed and become tempered martensite, only the hardness increases, can knives and scissors be made,
6Cr14 which has been applied to high quality knives and scissors is a kind of excellent martensitic stainless steel, after heat treatment, 6Cr14 has reasonable internal structure , and it is very appropriate to be used to produce razor blades, electric hair clippers and scalpels. Our stainless steel, after electric furnace smelting and LF furnace refining, will become more pure and uniform.
The Characteristic of 6Cr14
High Hardness     Excellent abrasion resistance     Good corrosion resistance
6Cr14 is the material to be used to produce top grade razor blades, clipper blades and surgical knives and scissors. As 6Cr14’s carbon content is high, its hardness can reach HRC60 after quenching, The Cr in 6Cr14 is relatively high, and this can make the steel’s hardenability and wearing resistance be improved, in addition, it will also improve corrosion resistance and antioxidation of the steel. Compared with ordinary martensitic stainless steel(3Cr13, 4Cr13)which have been used to produce razor blades, clipper blades and surgical knives and scissors, 6Cr14 has been greatly improved in quenched hardness and wearing resistance, thus, the razor blades and clipper blades which have been produced by 6Cr14 can be used for a longer time.
