SS5739 S136 Stainless Steel Powder

S136 Stainless Steel Powder Description

S136 Stainless Steel Powder is a premium grade of stainless steel commonly used in the manufacturing of molds and dies due to its excellent corrosion resistance and superior polish ability. S136 is a martensitic stainless steel similar to 420 stainless steel. It typically contains high levels of chromium, along with moderate amounts of carbon. This composition provides a good balance of corrosion resistance and wear resistance.

S136 is known for its excellent corrosion resistance and ability to achieve a high polish, which is crucial for applications that require aesthetically pleasing surfaces. It also has good wear resistance and hardness, making it suitable for long-lasting mold components.
