Low-temperature performance of chrome-nickel-manganese-nitrogen austenitic stainless steel 1Cr18Ni5Mn8N (AISI 1202)
Introduction
Stainless steels are widely used in the industrial field due to their corrosion resistance and excellent mechanical properties. Among them, austenitic stainless steel is one of the most important materials due to its excellent low temperature properties and good weldability. The most common type of austenitic stainless steel is 1Cr18Ni5Mn8N (AISI 1202). It is composed of chromium, nickel, manganese and nitrogen. This composition gives it a good all-round performance, with good formability and weldability and superior low temperature resistance.
Low-temperature Performance
The low-temperature performance of 1Cr18Ni5Mn8N (AISI 1202) stainless steel is mainly determined by its mechanical properties. Its high strength and ductility at low temperatures ensure superior performance. Its mechanical properties remain good down to -150°C and even lower, making it an excellent choice for applications in extreme environmental conditions. At the same time, its resistance to strain and fracture are very good and its fracture behavior remains consistent down to -196°C.
The superior low-temperature performance of 1Cr18Ni5Mn8N (AISI 1202) stainless steel is mainly attributed to its composition. The combination of chromium, nickel, and nitrogen improves its low-temperature strength while manganese improves its ductility. At the same time, its high chromium content enhances its resistance to corrosion, further enhancing its low-temperature performance.
Conclusion
1Cr18Ni5Mn8N (AISI 1202) stainless steel has superior low-temperature performance due to its high strength and ductility and its resistance to thermal strain and fracture. Its combination of chromium, nickel, manganese and nitrogen also contributes to its superior performance in extreme environmental conditions. This makes it an excellent choice for applications in extreme environmental conditions.
