What is CPM S30V?

What is CPM S30V?

CPM® S30V® is a martensitic stainless steel designed to offer the best combination of toughness, wear resistance and corrosion resistance. Its chemistry has been specially balanced to promote the formation of vanadium carbides which are harder and more effective than chromium carbides in providing wear resistance.

What is the difference between S30V and 154CM and 20CV?

D2 offers lower edge retention with the same toughness and lower corrosion resistance compared to S30V. 154CM offers close edge retention to the S30V with lower corrosion resistance and toughness. 20CV offers superior edge retention and higher corrosion resistance compared to S30V with the same level of toughness.

Is S30V a good steel to buy?

Corrosion Resistance: Being a stainless Steel CPM S30V Offers a great Corrosion Resistance due to 14% of Chromium. Wear Resistance: Maybe one of the best steels in wear resistance, being high in vanadium and Chromium, S30V is a great steel for wear resistance.

How do I care for my S30V?

All stainless steels are exposed to rust if you neglect to take care of them for a long period. Therefore our S30V is stainless steel with 14% Of chromium with great corrosion resistance. If you’re using it as a knife, once you finish using it A simple wipe will keep your knife rust-free.
