The alloy is an age-hardenable martensitic steel alloy which provides a unique combination of tensile strength and fracture toughness. The alloy provides excellent mechanical properties when hardened by vacuum heat treatment with inert gas cooling and has a low ductile-to-brittle transition temperature.

Why it's free to use

  • Filed March 26, 1990 and granted January 7, 1997. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended March 26, 2010.
  • A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by March 26, 2012.
  • We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
