PURPOSE:To obtain stainless steel for edge tools which is suitable for fine edge tools such as razor blades and which provides hardness and superior corrosion resistance at low hardening temp., by increasing the Mn and N content as compared with conventional methods. CONSTITUTION:The stainless steel for edge tools consists of, by weight, 0.4-0.8% C, <1% Si, 1-4% Mn, 11-17% Cr, 0.06-0.2% N, and the balance Fe. In this way, by increasing the Mn and N content, a high hardness satisfying the requirements of a razor blade can be obtained at hardening temps. as low as 950-1,100 deg.C.
