Business Wire
Carpenter Technology Corp. (NYSE: CRS), Wyomissing, PA, USA, is
introducing Carpenter CTS-BD1, a new alloy that is part of the
Carpenter CTS™ alloys suite. These particular alloys offer many
attributes making them attractive for use in consumer, industrial
and medical knife blade applications.
Carpenter CTS-BD1 is a premium melted stainless steel containing
certain metal additions that offer characteristics such as enhanced
knife blade edge retention at a competitive cost.
The Carpenter CTS family of alloys offers superior edge
retention and surface finish as well as an ability to be machined
to a fine edge and consistent heat-treatability from lot to lot.
These attributes make the Carpenter CTS alloys strong candidates
for a wide array of blade applications, including commercial food
processing, paper processing, textile, packaging, recycling/refuse,
kitchen knives, hand tools, scissors/shears, shaving razors,
sport/hunting knives, ice skates, military/defense, law
enforcement, salon blades and various surgical/medical
applications.
The other alloys in the Carpenter CTS suite are CTS-40CP
(Micro-Melt® 440C), CTS-XHP (Micro-Melt 440-XH® alloy), CTS-10 (410
stainless), CTS-20 (420 stainless), CTS 40A (Type 440A), CTS-40C
(Type 440C), CTS-TMT (Trinamet® stainless), CTS-20CP (Micro-Melt
420-CW), CTS-B52 (VIM-VAR 52100), CTS-B90 (X-90), CTS-B75 (S42700),
CTS-B70 (CRB-7® alloy) and CTS-204P (Micro-Melt 20-4).
All of the Carpenter CTS alloys are produced with stringent
quality control from melting through shipment. Carpenter offers
technical support for customers with questions about the Carpenter
CTS alloys and a new Selectaloy tool is available to aid customers
with alloy selection. The Carpenter CTS alloys are available for
sale directly from Carpenter.
