422 Stainless steel, X20CrMoWV12-1, 1.4935, SUH 616, UNS 42200, B4B - Introduction and Application
Stainless steel 422, X20CrMoWV12-1, 1.4935, SUH 616, UNS 42200, ASTM A437 Grade B4B martensitic creep resistant stainless steel additional heavy metal alloying elements giving it good strength and temper resistance at higher temperatures up to 1200oF, Chrome-nickel steel with an austenitic structure with carbides. Alloying additions of molybdenum, vanadium and tungsten increase the melting temperature. Similar to the 410 stainless this grade has the ability to be heat treated to multiple different strength levels. Because of the temper resistance this alloy is often used in the power generation market as steam and gas turbine components or various other high heat components, mainly turbine blades and fasteners. B50A125E is a popular Creep resistant steel which is hardened and tempered to give critical reliability in high temperature applications with a usual upper continuous operating temperature limit of 580℃., 422 Stainless, UNS S42200, B50A, AISI 616, AMS 5655, ASTM A 565 GRD 616, DOD F 24669/7, MIL S 861, B50A125, B50A951A1, BS 970 442S19, EN61
