What is the resistance of stainless steel?

The minimum 10.5% chromium in stainless steels provides resistance to approximately 700 °C (1,300 °F), while 16% chromium provides resistance up to approximately 1,200 °C (2,200 °F). Type 304, the most common grade of stainless steel with 18% chromium, is resistant to approximately 870 °C (1,600 °F).

Does stainless steel breakdown?

When exposed to oxygen and moisture, stainless steel produces a thin oxide film that coats the metal. It essentially repairs itself. Yet despite its name and resistant nature, stainless isn’t impossible to stain. The protective film will break down over time, leading to pitting and corrosion.

What is the HRC of 304 stainless steel?

AISI Type 304 Stainless Steel

How long does stainless steel last?

Stainless steel is a clean, durable, corrosion resistant material with a design life expectancy of over fifty years.

Which steel is better 304 or 202?

In comparison to grade 202, the alloy of stainless steel 304 contains nickel between 8% to about 10.5%, which is almost two times more than the former. This is why the expense of manufacturing austenitic stainless steel alloy 304 is higher than the grade 202.

What kind of stainless steel is pH 13-8 Mo?

Chromium-nickel-molybdenum stainless construction steel with aluminum additive X3CrNiMoAl13-8-2, 1.4534, PH 13-8 Mo, 13-8 Mo precipitation strengthened for use in the aerospace, petroleum and petrochemical industries.

What are the uses of the ph13-8mo alloy?

The PH13-8Mo is mainly used in the aerospace, nuclear, and petrochemical industries for parts and components subject to corrosion and heavy loads. In condition after precipitation hardening – supersaturation and ageing at 510℃:

What kind of corrosion resistance does 13-8 Mo stainless have?

Generally, this alloy should be considered where high strength, toughness, corrosion resistance, and resistance to stress-corrosion cracking are required in a steel showing minimal directionality in properties. In condition H 950, PH 13-8 Mo stainless has rusting resistance similar to that of Type 304 Stainless in 5 weight percent salt fog.

What can 13-8 stainless steel be used for?

Alloy 13-8 Stainless Steel is used in Aerospace components, landing gear, nuclear reactor components, petrochemical industry, injection molding equipment etc. Alloy 13-8 Stainless Steel in the annealed condition can be strengthened further by relatively low temperature heat treatment.
