Description / Abstract:
Form
This specification covers a corrosion and heat-resistant steel
in the form of bars, wire, forgings, mechanical tubing, flash
welded rings, and stock for forging or flash welded rings.
Application
These products have been used typically for parts requiring both
corrosion and heat resistance up to 1600 °F (871 °C), but usage is
not limited to such applications.
At comparable elevated temperatures, strength of this steel is
slightly higher than, and oxidation resistance is similar to, that
of 18-8 type steels.
