1.2316 Description

Increased corrosion resistance in comparison with 1.2083, good polishability. This steel is usually supplied in the quenched and tempered condition. Good machinability due to the additional Ca-treatment with working harness of approximate 300HB

1 Excellent corrosion resistance

2. Excellent wear resistance and toughness

3. Good thermal fatigue resistance

4. Uniform hardness and excellent polishing performance

5. Low content of impurities, stable production during the same period
