Also known as AISI A11, K294 (Böhler-Uddeholm), CPM® 10V (Crucible®), and a variety of other names, it is commonly referred to “in-house” as simply PMA11 (“particle metallurgy” A11).<br /> <br /> {|{{Articletable}}<br /> {{Tableheading}}&#039;&#039;&#039;Carbon&#039;&#039;&#039;<br /> {{Tableheading}}&#039;&#039;&#039;Chromium&#039;&#039;&#039;<br /> {{Tableheading}}&#039;&#039;&#039;Cobalt&#039;&#039;&#039;<br /> {{Tableheading}}&#039;&#039;&#039;Copper&#039;&#039;&#039;<br /> {{Tableheading}}&#039;&#039;&#039;Manganese&#039;&#039;&#039;<br /> {{Tableheading}}&#039;&#039;&#039;Molybdenium&#039;&#039;&#039;<br /> {{Tableheading}}&#039;&#039;&#039;Nickel&#039;&#039;&#039;<br /> {{Tableheading}}&#039;&#039;&#039;Nitrogen&#039;&#039;&#039;<br /> {{Tableheading}}&#039;&#039;&#039;Phosphorus&#039;&#039;&#039;<br /> {{tableheading}}&#039;&#039;&#039;Silicon&#039;&#039;&#039;<br /> {{Tableheading}}&#039;&#039;&#039;Sulfur&#039;&#039;&#039;<br /> {{Tableheading}}&#039;&#039;&#039;Tungsten&#039;&#039;&#039;<br /> {{Tableheading}}&#039;&#039;&#039;Vanadium&#039;&#039;&#039;<br /> |-<br /> |2.45<br /> |5.30<br /> |/<br /> |/<br /> |0.50<br /> |1.30<br /> |/<br /> |0.50<br /> |/<br /> |0.90<br /> |0.08<br /> |/<br /> |/<br /> |-<br /> |}<br /> <br /> Its large volume of hard vanadium carbides provides substantially better wear resistance than typical high-carbon, high-chromium die steels such as D2 and D7. The particle metallurgy process further enhances these properties by greatly minimizing alloy segregation and ensuring a fine, homogenous microstructure. In knife blades, these qualities translate to outstanding edge retention and good toughness, especially in shorter knives. Note, however, that PMA11 is a tool steel and must be maintained properly to safeguard it against corrosion.<br /> <br /> [[category:Steels]]</div>
