Steel 10KH18N9L
Designation
Description
10KH18N9L steel is used: for the manufacture of the 1st, 2nd and 3rd groups of castings of valves for the chemical industry, collectors, exhaust systems, parts, furnace fittings, plates for etching and baskets and other parts operating at temperatures up to +400 °C; the 1st, 2nd and 3rd groups casting parts of valves and actuators to it working in a slightly aggressive media and in a humid atmosphere in the absence of the requirements of resistance to intergranular corrosion, working under the working environment temperature from -253 to +600 °C without restriction of the nominal working pressure; for the manufacture of pipes tsentrobezhnolityh for the manufacture of the coils of the tubular furnace installations production of ammonia, hydrogen, ethylene, carbon disulphide, etc., operating in the temperature range 760−1060 °C and a pressure of 3.92 MPa (40 kgf/cm2); casting parts mining and metallurgical equipment; tsentrobezhnolityh pipes used as components in equipment for metallurgical, engineering, glass, ceramic, mining and processing petrochemical industry, and also intended for the manufacture of blanks and parts used in the composition of the products of aviation and the nuclear industry.
Note
Unstabilized chromium-Nickel corrosion-resistant austenitic steel, heat-resistant to +750 °C.
Steel is unstable in sulfur environments. When the content of carbon in steel is not more than 0.07% resistant against intercrystalline corrosion.
Standards
Chemical composition
According to GOST 977-88, if it is necessary to provide greater resistance to intergranular corrosion, the carbon content can be set not more than 0.07%.
According to GOST 2176-77 the chemical composition is given for steel grade 10Х18Н9Л. Deviations from the norms of chemical composition are allowed: for carbon ± 0.020%; for silicon ± 0.10%; on manganese, copper, chromium and nickel ± 0.10% each; by titanium and tungsten ± 0.050% each; by vanadium, molybdenum and niobium ± 0.020% each.
