50Cr15Mov
The C content is increased to 0.5%, the Cr content is increased to 15%, and molybdenum and vanadium elements are added. After quenching, the hardness can reach about HRC56. It has good corrosion resistance, processability and grinding performance, and is used in the tool industry.
1.4116 stainless steel (also known as X50CrMoV15) is a high-performance martensitic stainless steel. It is widely used in premium kitchen knives, medical instruments, and professional cutting tools due to its excellent hardness, corrosion resistance, and edge retention.
Chemical composition
| Grade | C≤% | Si≤% | Mn≤% | P≤% | S≤% | Cr % | Mo≤% | V % |
| 1.4116 | 0.45-0.55 | 1.00 | 1.00 | 0.040 | 0.015 | 14.00-15.00 | 0.50-0.80 | 0.10-0.20 |
Mechanical properties
| Tensile strength(Min) | Yield Strength(Min) | Elongation(Min)% | Hardness(Max) | |
| Mpa | Mpa | 50mm | HRB | HV |

Easy to heat treat and machine – suitable for mass production
Applications
Premium kitchen knives (chef knives, paring knives, slicing knives)
Surgical instruments and medical tools
High-end grooming tools (nail scissors, cuticle trimmers)
Multi-function folding knives and pocket knives
Supply size
Thickness: 0.075-25.4mm
Width: 4.2-2000mm
Length: Customized according to customer requirements
