Alleima® 7C27Mo2 is a martensitic stainless steel alloyed with molybdenum that is characterized by good formability. After hardening, the grade has:
-
Very good corrosion resistance
-
High toughness
-
Excellent fatigue strength
Alleima® 7C27Mo2 is typically used for cutters in electric shavers and springs.

Chemical composition (nominal)
| C | Si | Mn | P | S | Cr | Mo |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0.38 | 0.4 | 0.6 | ≤0.025 | ≤0.010 | 13.5 | 1.0 |
Forms of supply
Strip can be supplied either in coils or as straightened lengths of 0.5 - 4.0 meters (1.6 - 13.1 feet). The coil weight is max. 5 kg/mm (280 lbs/in.) of strip width.
Hardening and tempering of the strip steel is needed to achieve the correct finish and to meet the properties required by the end-user.

| Min. | Max | Min. | Max. |
| 0.10 (0.0039) | 4.5 (0.177) | 5 (0.197) | 350 (13.78) |
Other sizes can be supplied to meet specific requirements.
Tolerances
The thickness and width tolerances are +/- tolerances to the nominal size. The normal tolerance classes for most of our strip products are T2 and B1. Tighter tolerances as well as other tolerance limits can be offered upon request.
