High-Alloy X12CrNiMoV12-3, 1.4938, UNS S64152 Creep resisting steels, nickel and cobalt alloys, oxidation for aviation and cosmonautics acc. to EN 10302(Stainless steels - Part 1: List of stainless steels), EN 10088-1 and EN 10269(Steels and nickel alloys for fasteners with specified elevated and/or low temperature properties)

X12CrNiMoV12-3, 1.4938 - Introduction and Application

X12CrNiMoV12-3, 1.4938 is a High-alloy Cr-Ni-Mo Creep resisting steels, This steel can be used up to a maximum temperature about 560 °C / 1040 °F. Typical application for 1.4938/1.4939 include highly stressed bolts in turbine. nickel and cobalt alloys with the addition of vanadium for carburization with a martensitic structure, which due to high strength properties and significantly increased resistance to oxidation, is used for the production of aviation propellers, especially loaded gears, ball screws, responsible parts working at elevated temperatures such as rotors and turbine blades, bolts in the power industry, pump components as well as coupling parts in aircraft constructions.Unique composition chemical composition ensures high hardenability, great nawęglonej layer parameters (hardness, toughness), and a clear reduction in deformations arising during heat treatment.Steels and nickel alloys for fasteners with specified elevated and/or low temperature properties is a high-alloy chromium-nickel-molybdenum Creep resisting steels, nickel and cobalt alloys with the addition of vanadium for carburization with a martensitic structure, which due to high strength properties and significantly increased resistance to oxidation, is used for the production of aviation propellers, especially loaded gears, ball screws, responsible parts working at elevated temperatures such as rotors and turbine blades, bolts in the power industry, pump components as well as coupling parts in aircraft constructions.Unique composition chemical composition ensures high hardenability, great nawęglonej layer parameters (hardness, toughness), and a clear reduction in deformations arising during heat treatment.Steels and nickel alloys for fasteners with specified elevated and/or low temperature properties
