Martensitic chromium steel with nickel addition. Heat treatable grade, capable of taking a mirror finish. Higher corrosion resistance compared to 13% chromium steal. Resistant to the effects of seawater, weak acids and alkaline solutions, as well as to acids having a strong, oxidizing effect such as nitric acid. Surface finish for optimum corrosion resistance: fine ground or polished.
For components subject to high mechanical and corrosive stress, e.g. screws and shafts, at operating temperatures up to approx. 752° F.
