    CTS-XHP® alloy is an air-hardening, high carbon, high chromium, corrosion resistant alloy. It can be considered either a high hardness stainless steel or a corrosion-resistant tool steel. The alloy is manufactured using powder metallurgy and controlled metal working processes.
    CTS-XHP alloy possesses corrosion resistance equivalent to high chromium stainless steels but can attain a maximum hardness of 62 HRC, approaching that of D2 tool steel. In addition, the composition of CTS-XHP alloy has been balanced so that it can attain a minimum hardness of 60 HRC when air cooled from hardening temperatures of 1850 to 2000°F. CTS-XHP alloy is thus more forgiving during heat treatment than similar alloys.
