2Cr12MOV is a martensitic stainless steel containing chromium (Cr), molybdenum (Mo), vanadium (V), which is mainly characterized by good wear resistance and moderate corrosion resistance. This steel is commonly used to make a variety of high-strength wear-resistant parts and knives, such as turbine blades, high-pressure valves, molds, etc. 2Cr12MOV has been widely used in industry due to its excellent mechanical properties and economy.
Abrasion resistance: The high content of chromium provides good wear resistance, making 2Cr12MOV suitable for manufacturing a variety of highly wear-resistant parts.
Moderate corrosion resistance: Although not as corrosion resistant as austenitic stainless steels, it still performs well in many environments.
High strength and hardness: Through heat treatment, 2Cr12MOV can obtain high strength and hardness, and is suitable for bearing large loads.
Good processability: In the annealed state, this steel has good machinability, which is convenient for machining into various parts.
The application fields of 2Cr12MOV stainless steel mainly include:
Knife and mould making: Used to manufacture a variety of industrial knives, stamping dies and plastic molds with high hardness and high wear resistance.
Mechanical components: It is suitable for the production of high-strength gears, shafts, bolts and high-pressure valves and other mechanical parts.
Petrochemical equipment: In the petrochemical industry, it is used in the manufacture of corrosion- and temperature-resistant components, such as valves and pumps.
Heat treatment: Performance optimization of 2Cr12MOV often relies on heat treatment processes, including quenching and tempering, to obtain the desired hardness and mechanical properties.
Machining: It is easy to machine in the annealed state, but it is more difficult to machine in the hardened state, and it is necessary to use carbide tools.
When designing and manufacturing components using 2Cr12MOV material, the material characteristics should be fully considered, and suitable processing and heat treatment processes should be selected to ensure the performance and reliability of the components. Depending on the application, corrosion resistance should also be considered to ensure long-term stable operation.
