Fine grain steel, relatively well resistant to deep corrosion, very suitable for the production of durable, highly stressed larger blades.

Uddeholm Sleipner is a high alloy chrome-molybdenum-vanadium steel with a very wide profile of properties. It is also a very good steel for all kinds of surface finishes. It is characterized by good resistance to cutting wear, good resistance to facet chipping, hardness greater than 60 HRC even after higher tempering temperatures. It is also characterised by dimensional stability in the hardening process. It resists self-demolition very well up to 300°C. It is well machined in the annealed condition supplied by us.

• Good wear resistance
• Good resistance to pitting
• High strength (<60 HRC) after high temperature tempering
• Good dimensional stability during heat treatment
• Good machinability and grindability
• Good properties for subsequent surface treatments
