HPA Cobalt Alloy 6BH (Co-Cr-W) (UNS R30016) Co 59.0, Cr 30.0, W 3.5, Ni 2.5, Mn 1.4, C 1.0

Better ductility than 6K, with hardness of about Rc 42 - 49, makes great knife material. This variation of 6B offers increased wear life due to higher hardness, and retained edge characteristics. Economic advantages are: long wear life, fewer replacements, and less down time.

Food preparation equipment (minimal metal loss), saw blades, scrapper blades, granulates, chippers, shredders and other cutting edges where tool life is a necessity. The F.D.A. has approved for use in food contact due to lower metal loss.
