X12 CrNi 17 7

Printer Friendly Page
Introduction:

All stainless steels will exhibit some increase of yield strength, tensile strength and hardness when cold worked by drawing, rolling, bending, etc. In this steel, the increases are much greater. For example, after 20% reduction:

 
17Cr7Ni
18Cr12Ni
 Vickers Hardness
390
280
 Tensile strength (MPa)
2250
780
 Magnetic permeability
20
1005

17Cr7Ni is less suitable for deep drawing but pure stretch formability may be improved as locally strained regions harden to give transformation induced plasticity. Corrosion resistance is similar to the 18Cr10Ni S304xx types, but precautions are necessary to avoid sensitization to corrosion resulting from chromium carbide precipitation, eg. during welding.

Metallurgy:

The increased effects of cold working are due to austenite instability causing some formation of martensite during cold work. The development of martensite is reflected in an increased magnetic response.
