Alloy Grade 0Cr19Ni10NbN
Alloy Grade 0Cr19Ni10NbN is a stainless steel developed by China National Corporation for Standardization. It is a weldable ferrite-austenitic stainless steel designed for atmospheric and very low temperature service. This alloy is used for various applications such as chemical, pharmaceutical, food and beverage, architectural and automotive components, paper and pulp processing, pharmaceutical and automobile equipment and components, fabrications, structural components, and special instrumentation components.
Alloy Grade 0Cr19Ni10NbN is highly resistant to corrosion, making it suitable for high-pressure applications and extreme temperatures. It can be cold worked, welded and machined with precision. This chrome-nickel-molybdenum alloy is also characterized by low carbon content, making it especially suitable for use with stainless steel equipment. It is a ferritic stainless steel, meaning it has very low electrical conductivity and high formability.
The alloy is composed of iron, chromium, nickel and molybdenum with subtle variations to address specific applications. The addition of sulfur improves machinability while nitrogen increases durability. For example, the addition of titanium improves the ductility of the alloy and increases its heat resistance.
Alloy Grade 0Cr19Ni10NbN is commonly used in applications where the strength and corrosion resistance of stainless steel are paramount. In particular, the alloy is widely used in the food, beverage and pharmaceutical industries as it meets the stringent requirements for contact surfaces and surfaces which come in contact with products. The alloys also feature low thermal expansion, allowing for easier fabrication of components with closer dimensional tolerances, making it a popular choice in applications such as instrumentation and medical imaging.
Alloy Grade 0Cr19Ni10NbN is a popular choice for the automotive industry for underbody and body panel components. The low thermal expansion, good thermal conductivity, high strength-to-weight ratio, corrosion resistance and good fatigue resistance make it an excellent candidate for use in automobiles and other motor vehicles.
In general, Alloy Grade 0Cr19Ni10NbN is highly resistant to stress caused by extreme temperature variations or exposure to atmospheric conditions. Its low carbon content results in excellent weldability and improved corrosion resistance compared to other stainless steels. Overall, the alloy is extremely versatile and offers robust and reliable performance.
