Alloy Steel 80CrV2
80CrV2 (pronounced "eighty C-R-V-two") is a high-carbon, low-alloy steel known for its excellent combination of toughness, edge stability, and ease of sharpening. It's often described as a superior version of classic high-carbon steels like 1080, with improved hardenability and performance due to its small but effective alloying elements.

Principal Feature:
80CrV2 (pronounced "eighty C-R-V-two") is a high-carbon, low-alloy steel known for its excellent combination of toughness, edge stability, and ease of sharpening. It's often described as a superior version of classic high-carbon steels like 1080, with improved hardenability and performance due to its small but effective alloying elements.
Typical Application:
It's a favorite among custom knifemakers, especially for outdoor, bushcraft, and hunting knives where a resilient edge that can withstand impact and abuse is more critical than extreme wear resistance.
Mechanical properties：
Annealed status
Tensile strength (Rm) : ≈ 750-850 MPa
Yield strength (Rp0.2) : ≈ 450-550 MPa
Elongation (A5) : ≈ 15-20%
Impact toughness: Good
Hardness: ≈ 200 HB (~ 20-22 HRC)
It is convenient for cutting and cold working under this condition.
Heat Treatment:
Forging temperature: 800–1050°C, final forging temperature ≥ 800°C
Quenching: Heating at 830–860°C, oil cooling
Tempering: Tempering at 180–250°C for 1–2 hours to achieve approximately 58–62 HRC; for higher toughness, tempering above 300°C is recommended.
Size available:
Sheets or coils | Cold rolled | 0.5-2.5x100-1800mm |
Hot rolled | 3.0-16x100-1800mm |
