Special features and main characteristics: rust-resistant, hardenable chrome steel, whose corrosion resistance is achieved only through the hardening of the parts. To further improve this, the parts must be well polished. Due to its low sulfur and carbon content, this grade is more corrosion-resistant than 1.4034 or 1.4035. However, the hardness is lower than 1.4028 or 1.4034. The use of this material is versatile, covering applications in industries such as medicine or dental for undemanding parts.
