Grade X6CrAl13 is used for manufacture of components for water and process engineering applications. The steel material is corrosion resistant and is also suitable for production of contact parts for fasteners.
The steel grade X6CrAl13 is a precipitation hardening grade, which offers superior corrosion resistance. This grade of steel is used in conjunction with grades such as AISI 316 and 316L, providing a high-strength base material that can be easily formed and machined.
The steel grade X6CrAl13 may be used in the production of components for water and process engineering. Its superior corrosion resistance makes it an ideal choice for contact parts, fittings, and valves, as these components are often exposed to wet or aggressive environments. Its superior properties also make it especially suitable for use in parts that come into contact with fasteners or other components that could be subject to wear or fatigue.
The steel material also has several other practical characteristics such as excellent welding properties, high strength, and formability. Its low level of carbon content (0.06%) ensures that it can be easily machined and shaped. Furthermore, its high vibrational strength means it is suitable for applications where components must resist cyclic loading.
The steel grade X6CrAl13 has low levels of carbon and chromium, similar to those of austenitic stainless steels, thus providing superior resistance to corrosion and stress corrosion cracking. Furthermore, its corrosion resistance is similar to that of AISI 316, thus making it an even better choice for applications exposed to aggressive environments such as salt water. Finally, the high level of chromium (13 %) and molybdenum (2.2%) add to the superior corrosion resistance of the grade.
Due to the superior corrosion resistance and high strength, the steel grade X6CrAl13 has become a popular choice for the production of components for water and process engineering applications. Its superior properties make it suitable for contact parts and fittings in aggressive environments, while its weldability and machinability make it a cost-effective solution for a wide range of applications. Furthermore, its high vibration strength and superior corrosion resistance make it an excellent choice for contact parts and fasteners made from steel.
