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.
