base
material
65Mn is a premium-grade spring steel renowned for its exceptional hardness, wear resistance, and elasticity. This alloyed steel features manganese, an element celebrated for its ability to enhance both strength and toughness. With its remarkable balance of rigidity and flexibility, 65Mn is ideally suited for demanding applications, such as the production of tools, spring leaves, and other mechanical components subjected to rigorous stress. Its reliability and outstanding performance establish it as a material of choice in high-precision industries.
Finishing
refined
Refined through meticulous tempering and chrome plating, this material achieves unparalleled durability and aesthetic allure. The tempering process subjects the steel to precise heat treatment, enhancing its resilience and capacity to endure mechanical strain. Following this, a layer of chrome plating imparts a lustrous, polished finish while safeguarding against corrosion and wear. The result is a product of exceptional longevity and sophistication, marrying functional excellence with a striking visual presence.
