Quality Author List 13-8mo is a precipitation-hardened martensitic stainless steel manufactured using the VIM-VAR (Vacuum Induction Melting - Vacuum Furnace Remelting) process that provides excellent fracture toughness and transverse mechanical properties while having resistance to stress corrosion cracking and high strength, which are common features of the precipitation-hardened stainless steel family. By selecting different single low-temperature aging treatments, a wide range of mechanical properties can be achieved. This alloy is remelted by double vacuum (vacuum induction melting, followed by vacuum arc remelting) to ensure low gas content, improved uniformity and superior cleanliness. This alloy should be considered in applications that require both stress corrosion resistance and high strength.
