X1 CrNiMoCuN 20 18 7

Printer Friendly Page
Introduction:

A 'super' austenitic steel in which the additions of chromium, molybdenum and nitrogen give high resistance to pitting in sea water. This alloy has a mean Pitting Resistance Equivalent Number ('PREN' = Cr+3.3Mo+16N) of 43.8. Tests indicate high resistance to crevice-corrosion attack in seawater and to stress corrosion cracking in hot concentrated sodium chloride.Compared with CrNiMo 17 12 2.5 steels, it shows superior corrosion resistance in many acids at similar
concentrations and its yield strength is approximately 50% higher. Good weldability using Ni-Cr-Mo consumables.Quench annealing and short periods within the 600-1000°C range avoids the possible development of deleterious sigma phase, which may embrittle and impair corrosion resistance.
