Chemical Composition
Corrosion Resistance
Thanks to its specific chemistry with a low carbon content, high level of chromium, and other appropriate alloying elements, Superplast
Stainless offers good corrosion resistance in corrosive molding environments (PVC) and in humid atmospheres.
Humid-dry alternated atmosphere test.
Machinability
Stainless. Performances are definitively improved compared to conventional grades.
Machining test parameters
Mechanical Properties
* HRC Hardness is only indicative value (translation from HB according to ISO 18265 : 2003 table B2)
Microstructure
Stainless is a martensitic stainless steel offering microstructure and hardness consistency through thickness.
Example in a 100 mm (4”) thick plate.
Welding Guidelines
The low carbon content offers a good aptitude for weld repairs, avoiding any risk of cold cracking when appropriate welding wire is used.
