VAL3S is a high Chromium–Molybdenum martensitic stainless with a Carbon content capable of high hardness after heat treatment together with a fair pitting corrosion resistance better than other C-Cr martensitic grades.

All applications where machinability, high hardness and corrosion resistance are indispensable, such as parts of pump shafts, valves, plastic molds, wear resistant devices, parts of fire arms, nozzles, gauges, conveyor chains, axles, food process equipment, guides and instruments. VAL3S after hardening and tempering provides a hardness higher than VAL1 and VAL2A. This grade is used when a machinability better than VAL3 or of other non-micro-resulphured martensitic steels is required.
