AUS-4
( 0.4% Carbon (C), 14% Chromium (Cr), 0.49% Nickel (Ni), 1% Manganese (Mn)) A very easy to grind steel that is relatively highly corrosion resistant, with qualities comparable to 420-440B steel. Japan / Aichi Steel
AUS-6
(0.6% Carbon (C), 14% Chromium (Cr), 0.2% Vanadium (V), 0.49% Nickel (Ni), 1% Manganese (Mn), 1% Silicon (Si)) A corrosion resistant steel, more comparable to 440C steel, it maintains almost identical corrosion resistance to AUS4 steel, although it is harder due to its higher carbon and vanadium content. Japan / Aichi Steel
AUS-8
(0.75% Carbon (C), 14% Chromium (Cr), 0.2% Molybdenum (Mo), 0.2% Vanadium (V), 0.49% Nickel (Ni), 0.5% Manganese (Mn), 1% Silicon (Si)) One of the most popular Japanese stainless steels ever. Due to its higher carbon content, it ranks among the steels with higher edge life, and corrosion resistance is quite decent. It ranks above 440C in toughness. Japan / Aichi Steel
AUS-10
Stainless steel grade containing 1.1% Carbon (C), 14% Chromium (Cr), 0.3% Molybdenum (Mo), 0.27% Vanadium (V), 0.49% Nickel (Ni), 0.5% Manganese (Mn), 1% Silicon (Si). It has very decent edge dulling resistance, toughness and hardness. It is similar to 440C steel, but slightly harder and more durable. Rockwell hardness is 58-60 HRc. Japan / Aichi Steel
