Other properties
|
- Nickel-free martensitic ferromagnetic structure with high tenacity
- The steel is usually tempered (Rm = 1400 N/mm²/Rp0.2 = 1200 N/mm²)
- Can be mechanically polished to a mirror finish
- Suitability for electropolishing: good
- For use in the temperature range -40° - 400°C |
|
Main uses
