6Cr13, martensitic razor blade steel

6Cr13 Stainless Steel, Razor Blade Steel Supplier

In China, 6Cr13 is a quota-controlled martensitic alloy and a proven razor blade steel. Each heat is registered under its own furnace number, with limited annual output, for traceability and consistency. We source selected 6Cr13 coils from China's top mills, which pioneered its industrial-scale production.

Why our 6Cr13.

Metallurgy that shows in precision blade making.

Low macrosegregation

Uniform chemistry across the strip, for less variation in edge processing and better batch consistency.

Finely dispersed carbides

Clean shearing and precise edge grinding, for smoother cutting and better wear resistance.

Even heat treatment response

Stable hardness across the strip and consistent properties after quenching and tempering, critical for razor and surgical blades.

Applications

Diverse cutting uses, with a razor blade focus.

Razor blades make the toughest demands on flatness, carbide control and heat treatment response, and that is where our 6Cr13 proves itself. We support OEM and project-based customers in the global shaving industry, and supply 6Cr13 as blade material for other industries where precision, hardness and corrosion resistance matter.
