Re: Difference between Ramax and 1.2316?

Ramax S is a 420 SS prehard (about 35 Rockwell). It's major benefit is corrosion resistance. 1.2316 is also considered as a prehard (about 33 Rockwell). It is listed as a corrosion resistant steel as well. It's alloying elements are all lower with the exception of silicon.1.2316 also contains nickel. Because my primary function is to repair tool steel I would rather see the Ramax than the 1.2316.
