ferrite

Features

It is a stainless steel with a ferrite structure and cannot be hardened by quenching. Chrome copper is usually It belongs to this, and the composition example is Cr14~18%, Si<1%, C<0.12%, Mn<1%, and cold working is possible.
Used in tanks, vehicle parts, filtration devices, etc.
Unlike austenitic ones, it has the property of sticking to magnets.

Characteristic

• Excellent ductility and strong resistance to corrosion and stress corrosion cracking. [400 series stainless steel]

• Typical chemical composition: Slightly low in carbon content, mainly composed of Chromium.
  (Cr14~18%, Si〈1%, C〈0.12%, Mn〈1%)

• Excellent formability and oxidation resistance.

• Weld metal becomes sensitive to hot cracks, which limits weld ability.

• Used in tanks, vehicle parts, filtration devices, kitchen appliances, and industrial equipment.

• Magnetic.
