1. Introduce
– Precipitation hardening martensitic stainless steel
– Molybdenum alloy with approximately 13% chromium and 8% nickel
– Molybdenum alloy provides better pitting and corrosion resistance than other PH alloys, 15-5PH and 17-4PH
– UNS S13800
* UNS
- Abbreviation for the Unified Numbering System for Metals and Alloys
- Unified unique numbering system for metals and alloys
- A representative number compatible with metals and alloys defined in several material-related codes, including ASTM, AISI, ASME, AWS, etc.
* S : Heat and corrosion resistant (stainless) steel
