Nitro-V

Nitro-V is a boutique steel developed by Aldo Bruno for the cutlery marker. It is a martensitic stainless steel with a chromium based chemistry. Nitro-V is a derivative of AEBL with Nitrogen and Vanadium added. This helps create a fine grained alloy with great edge holding and high corrosion resistance. This sounds a lot like kitchen cutlery but any application where corrosion resistance matters, this will work.

Heat Treat Information:

Cryogenic Treatment:
A cryogenic treatment is recommended to convert retained austenite, and can either be done before or after the first temper cycle.
While liquid nitrogen is preferred, a sub zero bath with dry ice and kerosene will suffice for -100°F /
-74°C.
Submerge in sub-zero treatment 1 hour depending on thickness and number of blades.

**A cryogenic treatment can be done immediately done after quench, but it is recommended blades be clamped flat to avoid thermal shock induced warp--cryo treatment should always be followed by a tempering cycle.

Tempering:
Once blade is quenched and near ambient temperature, blades should be tempered accordingly, the times suggested are to ensure even, consistent temperature.
Figures supplied are as representative of industrial standards.
