Material: 3Cr13 stainless steel (carbon stainless) Key benefits strength and hardness from elevated carbon content — reduces deformation and holds shape under stress. wear resistance — suitable for components that experience friction and abrasion. Corrosion resistance — resists rust for longer service life and easier maintenance. German heattreatment process applied — abrasion resistance increased to several times the average, improving durability. Combines toughness and hygiene properties — better choice than many inferior steels for applications where cleanliness and resistance to corrosion matter. How this solves common problems Prevents premature wear and surface damage in moving or impactprone parts. Reduces downtime and replacement costs by extending component life. Lowers risk of rustrelated failure and makes cleaning/maintenance easier. Provides a balance between hardness and corrosion resistance that many plain carbon steels lack. What makes it stand out carbon 3Cr13 base material for increased hardness and wear resistance. Specialized German heat treatment that significantly boosts abrasion resistance compared with average treatments. More resistant to rust and suitable for applications with hygiene considerations, distinguishing it from lowergrade steels. Typical applications / use scenarios Props and costume components (stage, film, cosplay): durable, hardwearing material for blades, fittings, frames, and structural prop elements. Wearprone mechanical parts: bushings, small shafts, and linkages where abrasion resistance and dimensional stability matter. Environments requiring cleanliness and corrosion resistance: fixtures, handles, or exposed components where rust prevention and easier maintenance are important. Performance and handling notes Material offers a tradeoff between higher hardness and corrosion resistance; suitable for fabrication practices used with stainless and carbon steels. Recommended for projects that need tougher, longerlasting components compared with ordinary stainless or carbon steels. Differs from inferior or untreated steels by offering improved abrasion resistance after German heat treatment and better longterm corrosion performance. Compatibility and selection guidance Choose 3Cr13 when you need a hard, wearresistant stainless material for props or functional components that will face repeated use. If extreme corrosion resistance or specific foodgrade certification is required, verify suitability for your regulatory or application needs before final selection.
