- high-alloy, weather-resistant, stainless steels
- Resistant to numerous organic and inorganic acids, alkalis, salt solutions and chemical attacking substances
- generally have a mass fraction of at least 12% chromium and a mass fraction of carbon of at most 1.2%
- Rust and acid resistance due to passivability which is achieved by the alloy element chromium
- Alloy with a chromium content of 12 - 30% causes the formation of an absorptively bound oxygen layer on the steel surface, which converts the material from an active (chemically soluble) to a passive (chemically resistant) state
A 1 rust-resistant mostly turned article
Material no .: 1.4305 Name: X10CrNiS18 9
Austenitic free cutting steel is easier to machine than conventional austenitic steels due to the addition of sulfur
particularly suitable for turned parts
