Martensitic
Category of magnetic steel. Usually has a chromium content of 12 percent and low nickel levels as well as moderate carbon levels.

Martensitic stainless steel
Martensitic stainless steel is usually 400 series containing between 10 and 20 percent chromium and more than 0.8 percent carbon with very little to no nickel. Heat treatment is used to harden the steel.

Mechanical properties
Properties that reveal the elasticity or inelasticity of a material when force is applied. The mechanical properties of a material depend on the microstructure of the material and determines the tensile strength, yield strength as well as the hardness of the steel and more.
