Properties of KH
KH is a material with superior abrasion and corrosion resistant properties which withstands high temperature, performing well under abrasive, corrosive or/and high temperature environments.
-
Exceptional abrasion resistance
-
Exceptional corrosion resistance
-
Exceptional strength even under high temperature
-
Coefficient of thermal expansion close to that of steel
-
Can be bonded to steel by diffusion bonding
-
Specific gravity close to steel and light weight.(approximately half of cemented carbide)
KH is a material positioned in between ceramics and specialty steel. In addition to the stainless steel-based V, C, and H series, we have recently added the Ni-based N series to our lineup to meet a wide range of corrosion and abrasion resistant applications.
Types and applications of KH
Materials of different hardness and strength (deflective strength) are available from the V, C, H and N series. The most suitable material can be selected according to the usage environment.
