It is stainless martensitic steel. It has very good polishability and hardenability.
Can be used in moderately aggressive, chlorine-free environments.
It can be welded. It can also be used in tool and mold making.
4024/ 4028/ 4034 These are stainless steels with increasing carbon and approximately the same chromium ratios.
The best strength is obtained in the hardened and very well polished condition.
1.4034 (R45) X46Cr13 Stainless Tool Steel
It is used in the production of stainless cutting tools,
surgical instruments, pump parts, valves.
