• 0.03%(Max)  Sulfer

Properties of 6Cr13 as a razor blade

Sharpness:

One of the key requirements for razor blades is sharpness. 6CR13 stainless steel strip is known for its excellent edge retention, which allows razor blades to remain sharp after extended use. This high clarity ensures a precise, clean cut that glides easily through the hair and provides a close, comfortable shave.

Durability:

Razor blades must be able to withstand repeated use and maintain their structural integrity. Blade steel strip offers exceptional durability, making it ideal for manufacturing durable blades. Its composition includes chromium and carbon to provide the hardness and toughness needed to resist deformation and breakage during use.

Corrosion Resistance:

Disposable razors are often exposed to humid environments in bathrooms, making corrosion resistance a key characteristic. The rust and corrosion resistance of the stainless steel strip ensures that the blades remain in optimal condition even when exposed to wet conditions. This longevity ensures that every shave is as effective as the first, providing a reliable and satisfying experience.

As a supplier and manufacturer of stainless steel blades, DSM serves domestic and most parts of the world. Over the years, continuous advances have been made in steel dimensions and mechanical properties. These are achieved through strict quality inspection using modern and advanced testing equipment, such as metallographic microscopes, tensile testing machines, electron microscopes, etc. Designed to help customers optimize hardening, sharpening and grinding operations to achieve ideal performance for the final application.

As a special product of DSM, 6Cr13 is equipped with advanced production equipment to ensure mechanical properties, flat strips and bright surfaces. The production line is equipped with an online degreasing device to ensure good surface cleanliness; and is equipped with a tension and straightening device to obtain flatness without affecting the surface quality of the strip.

DSM produces strips with a minimum thickness of 0.075mm and widths of 5.74mm-7.21mm for single-edge razor blade applications, and thicknesses of 0.09mm and widths of 14-23mm for double-edge razor blade applications. This thin strip has been carefully designed to meet the stringent requirements of razor blade manufacturing. Its slim profile allows for precise cutting and ensures a sharp, clean shave every time.

With excellent hardness, corrosion resistance, edge retention and ease of sharpening, 6CR13 stainless steel strip is the perfect material to enhance the performance of razor blades. 6CR13 stainless steel strip is used in a wide variety of razor blade applications, such as safety razors, straight razors, and disposable razors, to provide your customers with a superior shaving experience.
