Is CTS 204P a stainless steel?

CTS™ 204P is a powder metallurgy, chromium/vanadium stainless steel. The grade is used in high end cutlery and applications requiring A high degree of corrosion resistance and wear resistance.

What kind of steel is 204P?

stainless steel
Made by @Carpenter, the CTS 204P is a highly wear and corrosion-resistant stainless steel produced using Carpenter’s Powder Metallurgy process, high in vanadium, chromium, and carbon, used for high performance industrial and custom knives, food processing equipment.

Is 204P a super steel?

American-made CTS-204P is the close equivalent to Bohler M390. CTS-204P is an ultra-premium steel manufactured in Pennsylvania.

Is S35VN a super steel?

CPM s35vn Toughness: Great toughness well balanced compared to wear resistance, and corrosion resistance, which makes S35V a super steel that offers the three qualities every knife user search for in steel.

How strong is S35VN?

S35VN has good potential hardness; it is capable of reaching at least 64 Rc. That should provide a good range of hardness values to the knifemaker. Knifemaker Michael Drinkwine heat treated and machined a set of S35VN specimens for toughness specimens for me. Each condition was tested with three specimens and averaged.

Is Elmax better than S35VN?

Similarly to the comparison with S30V steel, ELMAX displays superior dependability at a high HRC than S35VN, and better corrosion resistance while retaining its toughness. Despite this, S35VN steel knives are not noticeably less cheap than those made of ELMAX.

How strong is S35VN steel?

CPM S35VN knives are able to stand up to long-term use without diminished quality. S35VN steel usually has a Rockwell Hardness rating between 58 and 61, depending on the blade’s heat treatment.

Is S35VN high carbon?

The S35VN or CPM S35V is a high-end martensitic stainless steel made by @Crucible, high in Carbon, Vanadium, and chromium designed to offer a great balance between toughness, hardness and corrosion resistance.
