Features and range of applications.
X10CrNi18-8 is a high-alloy austenitic stainless steel containing 10% chromium and 8% nickel, as well as small amounts of carbon, nitrogen, silicon, and manganese. Due to its excellent corrosion resistance and work hardening characteristics, X10CRN18-8 is widely used in various fields.
First of all, X10CrNi18-8 has excellent corrosion resistance. Due to its high content of chromium and nickel, the stainless steel has excellent corrosion resistance to both oxidizing acids such as nitric acid, sulfuric acid and hydrochloric acid and reducing acids such as hydrofluoric acid, hydrobromic acid and hydroiodic acid. In addition, it also has good resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion, and can be used stably for a long time in various corrosive environments.
Secondly, X10CrNi18-8 has excellent work hardening characteristics. After cold working deformation, the strength and hardness of the stainless steel increase, while the plasticity and toughness decrease. This property allows the X10CrNi18-8 to be used in the manufacture of highly loaded and wear-resistant parts such as valves, pump shafts, strainers and mining equipment in the petroleum industry.
In addition, X10CrNi18-8 also has good welding performance and heat treatment characteristics. It can be joined using a variety of welding methods and does not require heat treatment after welding. At the same time, the stainless steel also has some low-temperature toughness and ductility, which can be used at lower temperatures.
In conclusion, X10CrNi18-8, as a high-alloy austenitic stainless steel, has the advantages of excellent corrosion resistance, work hardening characteristics, welding properties and heat treatment characteristics. Therefore, it is widely used in various fields, such as petroleum, chemical, pharmaceutical, food, and nuclear energy, among others.
