Damax™ Stainless Damascus
Damax™ by Alleima is the next generation of Damascus knife steel. It features the same quality as handcrafted steel and is produced with an innovative industrialized technique with up to 135 layers of martensitic stainless steel. The large scale production offers a more cost efficient material with repeatable quality.
Damax™ is a stainless Damascus steel. After heat treatment, the grade is characterized by:
- Layered structure with aesthetic design possibilities
- Very high hardness
- Good corrosion resistance
Damax™ Damascus steel is a multilayered steel, built up by two different steel grades that will give a different appearance after chemical etching. The steel grades in Damax™ are Alleima® 7C27Mo2 and Alleima® 19C27.
Chemical composition
Damax™ is a mixture of the two grades Alleima® 7C27Mo2 and Alleima® 19C27.
