Introduction:

Low carbon chromium steels are ferritic and cannot be hardened other than by cold work. Their yield and tensile strength properties are similar to 18Cr10Ni grades but their ductility and impact resistance are generally much inferior. Some cold forming operations are also more difficult. Minimum impact values are not included in Euronorm or ASTM and are subject to agreement.
X 6 CrTi 12 has a ductile-brittle transition temperature near or above room temperature and that of its coarse grained weld zones is higher. Very low carbon versions give some improvement.
This steel is slow rusting and subject to pitting and crevice corrosion in aerated seawater. Scaling temperatures are in the region of 750-800°C.
