TRIP steel is Transformation Induced Plasticity steel. It is a composite steel that consists of ferrite, bainite, martensite precipitants and restrained austenite. The austenite will transform into martensite when strained, thus increasing the strength of the steel. To stabilize the austenite you need to introduce alloy elements, usually Manganese.

Steel and stainless steel tend to weigh around the same, however, stainless steel can sometimes be a bit lighter.
Steel handsaw, steel hacksaw and steel bandsaw blades are made from high speed steel. The most popular specification of steel used to produce these products is BS4659 BM2 commonly known as M2 high speed steel. M2 offers good wear resistance with excellent toughness after heat treatment.
There is no equivalent of Creusabro® 8000 in Hardox. Creusabro® 8000 got the advantage of special metalurgical structure (chromium and molybdenum microcarbides) and efficient work hardening capability in service, coming from a metallurgic effect called TRIP effect (TRansformation Induced by Plasticity). Creusabro® 8000 contains retained austenite, which is transformed into very hard fresh martensite under the action of local plastic deformations. TRIP effect also participates in the delay of chip removal from the steel on exposure to abrasive particles.
