Additionally, it delivers strong strength characteristics at elevated temperatures-up to 2200 degrees Fahrenheit. Alloy-X is well suited for forming and welding.
Common applications of type Alloy-X include:
Gas turbine operations
Petro-chemical
Structural components
Industrial furnace
Fahrenheit and for lower stress applications at higher temperatures. A-286 can be hardened to a strength level. The alloy is also useful for low temperature applications requiring a ductile, non-magnetic high strength material at temperatures ranging from above room temperature down to at least -320 degrees Fahrenheit. This alloy can also be used for moderately corrosive applications in aqueous solutions. All of our A-286 is ordered to specific decimal thicknesses.
Common Applications of 17-7 Stainless Steel
Aerospace applications
Chemical processing equipment
Oil and petroleum refining equipment
Food processing equipment
General metalworking
This makes it well suited to applications that require ease of fabrication and then the addition of strength/hardness for improved reliability. 17-4 stainless steels provide an outstanding combination of high strength and good corrosion resistance characteristics. 17-4 stainless steels provide toughness in both base metals and welds.
Common Applications of 17-4 Stainless Steel
Aerospace applications
Chemical processing equipment
Oil and petroleum refining equipment
Food processing equipment
General metalworking
It is ductile, does not work harden readily and can be formed using a variety of roll forming or mild stretch bending operations, as well as the more common drawing and bending processes.
Common applications of type 430 include:
