Abstract
The physical metallurgical characteristics of high purity Fe-26 Cr and Fe-26 Cr-1 Mo ferritic stainless steels, containing low carbon and nitrogen contents, were studied. The studies demonstrate that a commercially produced Fe-26 Cr-1 Mo high purity alloy containing a maximum of 50 to 150 ppm of carbon and nitrogen is capable of good mechanical properties and fabricability. The alloy was previously demonstrated to exhibit good corrosion resistance. Because of these properties, the high purity Fe-26 Cr-1 Mo alloy is a viable alternate to 300-series stainless steels as well as more highly alloyed materials for many applications.
