Three key characteristics of the steel: edge retention, rust resistance and sharpenability
Edge retention: medium
★★★☆☆
The steel is designed for corrosion resistance and toughness, not for maximum wear resistance.
Rust resistance: extremely high
★★★★★
The nitrogen alloy supports exceptional corrosion resistance.
Sharpenability: good
★★★★☆
The steel is easy to work with compared to highly wear-resistant premium steels.
Areas of application
Maritime applications: The high corrosion resistance makes X-15T.N. interesting for humid and salty environments.
