Spring Steel L6

Hardness: L6 steel has a good hardness, which means it is able to maintain a sharp edge and resist wear under harsh conditions of use.
Hardness: Due to its hardness, L6 steel is resistant to abrasion and retains its edge for longer periods of time, which is important for tools and knives.
Machinability: L6 steel has good machinability, which allows manufacturers to more easily shape and process this steel into the desired forms for various applications.
Rusting: Like most carbon steels, L6 can be susceptible to rusting, especially if not properly protected and maintained.

"L6" is the designation for one of the many variations of tool steels - it is also called spring steel. This steel is made with high hardness, durability and the ability to keep a sharp edge in mind. It is not as common as some other steels, but it is valued for its properties and is used in some specialized applications such as wood carving tools, knives or various types of cutting tools.
