What is FV520B?
FV520B is a martensitic precipitation hardening stainless steel. It is similar to the more common PH grade 17-4PH. It combines moderate corrosion resistance with high strength and moderate toughness.
What is the toughest grade of stainless steel?
440C stainless steel
Martensitic grades include 420 stainless steel, which is used in engineering applications like shafts and 440C stainless steel – the hardest and most abrasion resistant of all the stainless steel.
What is the best grade of stainless steel for cutlery?
18/10 stainless steel
18/10 stainless steel The best grade of stainless steel for cutlery is 18/10. This is the composition of cutlery with the highest proportion of chromium and nickel. The 18 represents the amount of chromium and the 10 refers to the nickel.
What grade is marine stainless steel?
Grade 316
Grade 316 is probably the most common grade of stainless steel used in marine applications. It has more molybdenum than other austenitic stainless steels which helps it to resist pitting and other corrosive effects of salt water.
What is the most wear resistant stainless steel?
304 stainless steel
304 stainless steel is the most common form of stainless steel used around the world due to excellent corrosion resistance and value. 304 can withstand corrosion from most oxidizing acids.
Who are the suppliers of fv520b stainless steel?

What is the corrosion resistance of fv520b?
FV520B has useful corrosion resistance in modest corrosion environments having similar characteristics to that of austenitic stainless steel grades. It has useful resistance to some acid conditions and has low rusting rate in marine and industrial atmospheres. FV520B has good weldability characteristics when using standard techniques.
What is the difference between 17-4PH and fv520b?
FV520B is similar to 17-4PH and combines high strength and toughness with superior corrosion resistance. FV520B is a martensitic precipitation hardening stainless steel which is capable of being hardened by low-temperature treatment. The alloy boasts superior corrosion resistance when compared to standard martensitic grades.
