420J2/X46Cr13/4Cr13 stainless steel

420J2 (X46Cr13 / 4Cr13) is a high-carbon martensitic stainless steel offering superior hardness and wear resistance after heat treatment, with moderate corrosion resistance. Compared to 420J1 (3Cr13), it contains higher carbon, allowing for increased strength and edge retention. It is widely used in applications requiring sharp edges, high polishability, and abrasion resistance.
