Alloying elements are used to alter the mechanical and chemical properties of steel to give them advantages over standard carbon steel. While there are many alloying elements used to achieve various enhanced properties, certain elements are much more common than others. These are 5 common alloying elements:
1. Chromium
Chromium
Chromium added to carbon steel in percentages usually greater than 11% creates stainless steel. At this percentage and greater, the corrosion resistance of a steel vastly increases and oxidation of the iron is prevented in many conditions. The iron does not oxidize because the chromium will oxidize first and form a protective layer over the steel. Chromium also helps to improve mechanical properties, even in smaller amounts. It will increase the steel’s strength, hardness, and ability to be heat treated.
Common steels with high amounts of chromium include grades 439, 309, 2205 stainless steels. Grade D2 tool steel also has significant amounts of chromium.
2. Molybdenum
Molybdenum
Molybdenum, like chromium, has an effect on the corrosion resistance of steel. Molybdenum can also increase the hardenability, toughness, and tensile strength of steel. It increases the hardenability by lowering the required quench rate during the heat treating process to make a strong and hard steel. Molybdenum can also reduce the risk of pitting in steel as it improves resistance to chloride-induced corrosion. The Pitting Resistance Equivalent, or PRE, is actually calculated by multiplying the amount of molybdenum, chromium, and nickel by coefficients and then adding the values together.
Common steel grades with high amounts of molybdenum are the “A” group of tool steels, maraging steels such as Grade 250, and many stainless steels.
3. Vanadium
Vanadium
Vanadium is used to help control the grain size of the steel, keeping it small. The grain size is kept small because the vanadium carbides that form when vanadium is added to a steel block in the formation of grains. This blockage prevents the grains from growing to be as large as what they would be without the added vanadium. This finer grain structure helps to increase ductility. In some steels, carbides formed by vanadium can increase the hardness and strength of steel.
Steel alloys with high amounts of vanadium include A3, A9, O1, and D2 tool steels. Blade steels such as M390 and VG 10 also have relatively high amounts of vanadium.
4. Manganese
Manganese
Manganese is frequently used in steels to help with the heat treating process. When steels are heated and quenched to increase hardness and strength, the quench must be done at a fast rate. The faster this rate, the more unstable the process becomes. Manganese allows hardness and strength to increase the same amount but at a slower quench rate. This helps to reduce the risk of defects forming during the heating and quenching process.
Steels with high amounts of manganese include A10, A4, and O2 tool steels. 201 stainless steel also has a relatively high amount of manganese.
5. Nickel
Nickel
Nickel is used for manufacturing austenitic stainless steels because it is an austenite promoter. When amounts of chromium around 18% or greater are used and nickel composition is greater than 8%, austenitic stainless steel is created. This combination is extremely corrosion resistant, and austenitic grades are some of the most widely used stainless steels. Nickel is also used to improve the mechanical properties of steel. It is used to increase toughness and impact strength, even at lower temperatures.
Steels with high amounts of nickel include all of the austenitic stainless steels. Alloy steels such as 23XX and 25XX groups also have high amounts of nickel.

Many industries place strict requirements on the acceptable level of surface defects and imperfections that may appear on a plastic molded part. Such conditions often apply to critical components for the medical and pharmaceutical industries as well as for the manufacturers of lenses and other optical devices. However, for aesthetic reasons, many other consumer goods have similar restrictions. After all, any defect that appears on the surface of the mold steel is likely to be replicated onto the molded part. Problems associated with the texturing or polishability of a mold cavity can often be traced back to the mold steelmaking process. The material properties that have shown the greatest influence on obtaining a good surface finish are the microcleanliness level, the severity of chemical segregation and the appearance of primary carbides. The mold steel's chemical composition along with the manufacturing techniques used during its production, will determine its ability to p...
What is Injection Molding: Injection Molding is a manufacturing process for producing parts in large volume. It is most typically used in mass-production processes where the same part is being created thousands or even millions of times in succession. Why Use Injection Molding: The principal advantage of injection molding is the ability to scale production en masse. Once the initial costs have been paid the price per unit during injection molded manufacturing is extremely low. The price also tends to drop drastically as more parts are produced. Other advantages include the following: Injection Molding produces low scrap rates relative to traditional manufacturing processes like CNC machining which cut away substantial percentages of an original plastic block or sheet. This however can be a negative relative to additive manufacturing processes like 3D printing that have even lower scrap rates. Note: waste plastic from injection molding manufacturing typically comes consistent...
M2 Tool Steel | 1.3343 | HS-6-5-2C| SKH51 AISI M2 Tool Steel is molybdenum based high-speed steel in tungsten–molybdenum series. HSS grade steel M2 is a medium alloyed high speed steel which has good machinability. The H-SS M2 chemical composition gives a good combination of well-balanced toughness, wear resistance and red hardness properties. Widely used for cutting tools such as twist drills, taps, milling cutters, saws, knives etc. Also commonly used in cold work punches and dies and cutting applications involving high speed and light cuts. Grade M2 High Speed Steel is by far the most popular high speed steel replacing high speed steel grade T1 in most applications because of its superior properties and relative economy. We are one of leading AISI M2 HSS steel supplier and we can offer better quality and M2 alloy steel price for your various applications. 1. Supply Range of M2 tool steel High Speed M2 Ste...
