What is 95KH18 Stainless Steel?
95KH18 Steel (95Х18 Stainless Steel) is a Russian high carbon martensitic stainless steel designed for applications requiring extreme hardness, wear resistance, and corrosion resistance. The material is widely used in bearing systems, knives, precision tools, and mechanical components.
This bearing stainless steel grade is equivalent to AISI 440C stainless steeland is known for its ultra-hard structure after heat treatment.
- Very high hardness
- Excellent wear resistance
- Strong corrosion resistance
- High edge retention
- Superior mechanical strength
- Excellent polishing capability
Why 95KH18 Stainless Steel Performs in Extreme Wear Applications
This high carbon stainless steel provides exceptional hardness and strength after heat treatment, is suitable for rolling bearings and precision mechanical components, offers excellent performance in high-friction and abrasive environments, is ideal for blades, cutting tools, and precision knives, achieves extreme hardness after proper heat treatment, and provides reliable protection in moderate corrosive environments.
- UTS (annealed bar): ~770 MPa (typ.)
- YS (annealed bar): ~420 MPa (typ.)
- Elongation: ~15% (typ.)
- Hardness: annealed ~≈ 235–270 HB; after hardening/tempering typically HRC 56–60*
*Target hardness depends on quench/temper; we can provide process guidance.
