Do we really need chromium? What multi-v has less metals?

Chromium is believed to help with Type 2 diabetes and insulin issues. If you are not suffering from either of those, you may not need it. I returned this particular brand because the probiotics were keeping me in the bathroom! I switched back to this brand: MegaFood Men's One Daily (plant-based so you can take without food!) http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00014G874/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I am much happier now, and I am not in the bathroom anywhere near as much!

Chrome Vanadium is what arrived when I ordered. Very nice heavy duty. I purchased to remove radius arms bolts, leaf spring bolts, etc on Bronco restoration project. They are holding up great with with 100+ PSI being delivered through a 700ft lb torque impact gun. I would buy again for self or as a gift for buddy.

Any...any....high carbon stainless steel will be attacked by chlorine and heat and high humidity....any....any....will also rust if totally neglected.....there is no free lunch....

Good lord, people, there's a metallic ELEMENT on the Periodic table of Elements...called...CHROMIUM. Atomic number 24, abbreviated "Cr". How can so many answers be so wrong?!?

AUS4 has a compisition of: C - 0.4 to .45 % Mn - 1 % Cr - 13 to 14 % Ni - .49 % V - .10 to .26 % Mo - .10 to .30 % Bottom line is it's a decent, non-high carbon steel. It's marginally better than 440C, which is what most knives in this class are made of. I've been using this knife for a while now, and it's kept a very nice edge. Not perfect, but nice.

Thank you SG; I mistakenly thought this was the copper core, not the aluminum. Everything else you stated is spot on though. Thanks for the help!

FYI most "stainless" steel alloy formulas are not magnetic. When I got this item the Amazon description plainly said "stainless" and it appears to be that. Not sure why the current item description just says "metal". It could also be chromed brass, which would be ok as well. It is not aluminum for sure, too sturdy and otherwise would lose its shine. It stays shiny and doesn't stain.

I believe the colloidal metals can short out those devices. Do not take it if using a pacemaker.

There is no rating as far as max hg of mercury or anything. But ive used to pull a vacuum on a few systems and havent had any problems with it. Been able to get to 500 microns

All three of these are stainless steels. To keep things simple, the harder the steel the harder it will be to sharpen, the softer the steel the more often it will need to be sharpened. 440HC and 8CR13MoV are approximately equivalent higher carbon SS, with the 8CR being from China. They will dull faster than S30V but are easier to sharpen. S30V is, being harder and holding an edge better, considered a better choice for knife blades. The softer steels are not bad choices however; they may dull faster but are relatively easy to sharpen, and that's what you get in return for a lower price point for the knives.

No, it doesn't contain chromium, but does have added potassium & calcium. Hope this helps. The product, however, did not work for me.

18/10 is 18% Chromium and 10% nickel both contain stain-resistant properties. 18/0 is 18% Chromium and 0% nickel and Chromium by itself and is not a reliable rust-resistant material. Combined with nickel, it takes on more hard-wearing properties. The combination of nickel also creates a brighter, polished look. Because of this, 18/10 products generally cost more.

Stainless steel for sure. Supposed to be high carbon and high chrome content, similar to 440C but probably not as good as the 440C we have come to expect.

other than the liquid metal which has it's own set of issues this is probably the better choice, arctic silver is very good too but is somewhat conductive

I checked the Maas website and found no information about the difference, seems that for cleaning metals there is a crème and a liquid - personal preference as far as I could tell.

I do not know if hexavalent chromium. I've never used directly on the stove, I use it inside a pot to smooth steamed hot dog buns and hamburger buns
