Vanax Superclean Steel

Vanax Superclean steel is a Cr-Mo-V-N powder alloy steel produced by Uddeholms AB that combines toughness with rust-free properties. It combines the corrosion resistance of austenitic stainless steel (such as AISI316L) with the wear resistance and high hardness of cold work tool steel (up to 60 HRC). In Vanax Superclean Steel, most of the carbon is replaced by nitrogen and traditional chromium carbide is converted into carbonitride, a powder metallurgy steel grade that offers resistance in the most corrosive environments. Therefore, it is used in high-end blades to provide reliable performance to knife users at sea or in any demanding environment.
