6Cr13 Stainless Steel | Razor Blade Steel Supplier

In China, 6Cr13 stainless steel is a quota-controlled martensitic alloy widely recognized as a reliable form of razor blade steel. Each heat is registered under a unique furnace number and governed by limited annual output, ensuring material traceability and consistency. As an integrated resource provider, Sanmei Metal selectively sources the finest 6Cr13 coils from China’s top-tier mills, working closely with leading stainless steel manufacturers who pioneered the industrial-scale production of high-performance razor blade steel like 6Cr13.

Why Choose Sanmei Metal's 6Cr13 Stainless Steel

Our supplied **6Cr13 **is recognized for its outstanding metallurgical characteristics, which directly contribute to superior product performance in precision blade manufacturing. Specifically, these attributes deliver:

  • Low macrosegregation – ensures uniform chemical distribution across the strip, reducing variation during edge processing and improving batch consistency.

  • Finely dispersed carbides – supports clean shearing and precise blade edge grinding, resulting in smoother cutting performance and better wear resistance.

  • Excellent heat treatment response – allows for stable hardness control across the strip, ensuring consistent mechanical properties after quenching and tempering, critical for razor and surgical blade quality.
