Description
Niolox – 1.4153.03
Niolox 1.4153.03 is a stain resistant tool steel with a good edge holding and decent toughness. Niolox contains Niobium which is one of the best carbide formers, which gives Niolox a very fine grain structure when compared with other non powder metallurgy manufactured steels. This aids with edge stability and has greater wear resistance than D2.
Nb-added Tool steel with good toughness and edge holding ability at optimized corrosion resistance.Besides its main application for knives in the food processing industry this steel is used for all industrial knife applications, where maintenance of the cutting edges and optimized corrosion resistance is required. At increased requirements to corrosion resistance, especially in salt- or acid containing medias, it is recommended not to use tempering temperatures above 420 C. Carbide precipitations on the grain boundaries may cause pitting corrosion.
