Alloy SGS-X23-24
Descriptions
SGS-X23-24 stainless alloy is a "duplex" alloy that belongs to the family of austenitic stainless steels. It has a corrosion resistance at least equivalent to common austenitic steels, as well as significantly better mechanical properties and abrasion resistance.

300°C.
Types of parts produced
• Bodies
• Wheels
• Pump shafts
• Valves
• Miscellaneous parts
Standard structure
Approximately 50 % austenite and 50 % ferrite.
Physical Properties
Density: 7,5
Approximate melting range: 1350 - 1450°C
Chemical properties
The main characteristic of the SGS-X23-24 alloy is a better pitting resistance than common austenitic steels (304, 316L).
It is also extremely resistant to stress corrosion, particularly in the presence of anions Cl- or de H2S.
Thanks to its hardness, this steel can be used for applications that require good resistance to corrosion and to abrasion.
Other properties
Magnetism: Magnetic
Thermal conductivity: 25 W.m-1.K-1
Production
SEVA produces the SGS-X23-24 alloy in an electric induction furnace, under an Argon gas protective atmosphere.
Cast in a sand mold.
Heat treatment: Mechanical reinforcement by carbide precipitation.
