Stainless Steel 1.4122, also referred to as X90CrMoV18 or 1.4122 martensitic stainless steel, is primarily made up of 0.9% carbon, 17–19% chromium, 0.9% molybdenum, along with small amounts of vanadium and manganese. This unique blend gives it remarkable hardness, wear resistance, and decent corrosion resistance. The mechanical properties of 1.4122 hex bars showcase high tensile strength, typically ranging from 700–900 MPa, and yield strength between 450–600 MPa, along with good toughness and hardness levels hitting 200–250 HB. These traits make it perfect for applications that demand precision, durability, and resistance to abrasive or mildly corrosive conditions.
