Wear and cutting-surface requirements
This martensitic grade, designated X46Cr13, is considered where hardened-state hardness and wear performance matter. A high-hardness requirement does not remove toughness and corrosion requirements. Define the working surface geometry and acceptance condition alongside material identity.
Final surface and correct designation
A bright supplied bar alone does not establish the suitability of a finished cutting edge. Heat treatment, grinding, polishing and cleaning belong in the process plan. State 1.4034 explicitly and distinguish it from 440B and other 420 variants. Where hardness is specified, define the method and condition of measurement.
Typical application areas
Cutting parts, wear components, industrial equipment.
