Ferritic Stainless Steel

Tags: Materials

Ferritic steels contain trace amounts of nickel, 12-17% chromium, less than 0.1% carbon, along with other elements such as molybdenum, aluminum or titanium.

metallurgy

• Magnetic
• Non hardening by heat treatment
• High ambient temperature strength
• Resistant to chloride stress corrosion cracking
• Subject to hydrogen embrittlement
• Subject to ductile brittle temperature embrittlement
• Low carbon grades easy to weld
