Introduction:

This steel is very deep hardening, meaning that martensite is formed at very slow cooling rates and in pieces up to 500mm in diameter. Martensite in this steel is much lower hardness than that of S41000 and S43100. This makes this alloy more readily weldable.
The increased nickel content produces a better combination of properties. Not very resistant to aerated seawater.
Metallurgy:

In 13%Cr steels, the microstructure changes from ferritic to martensitic when small amounts of carbon and nitrogen are present in the absence of stabilizing elements such as Ti or Nb.
