STELLITE Alloy 6

STELLITE ALLOY 6 is the most widely used alloy in the Co-Cr-W-C family of alloys. It has an excellent resistance to many forms of wear and corrosion over a wide range in temperature. Stellite Alloy 6 has an outstanding resistance to seizing or galling as well as cavitation erosion. Retains its hardness at high temperature and resists oxidation to 1095 0C. Combines these properties along with the highest strength and ductility for this wear resistant family of alloys.

FINISHING The most machinable grade is this family of alloys and can be satisfactorily machined with carbide tip tools. Stress relieving before machining is recommended.

APPLICATIONS Used extensively to combat galling in valve trim. Protects against erosion on turbine blades and valve parts, also used for half and full sleeves and bushings as well as knives, scrappers, pump sleeves and liners. Environments which have a combination of adhesive, abrasive or erosive wear along with corrosion or temperature make ideal applications.

WEAR Stellite alloy 6 has excellent resistance to thermal shock and resists most types of mechanical wear especially when in combination with corrosion and/or temperature. When self-mated, it has a very low coefficient of friction of .12 and exceptional resistance to galling. It has cavitationerosion resistance ten times that of 304 stainless steel. The material is also ten times more resistant than 1020 or 304 SS in low stress abrasion and at least twice as resistant as hardened 1090 steel (Rc 55). Stellite alloy 6 is used to protect bearing surfaces in non-lubrication conditions due to its resistance to metal-to-metal wear. CORROSION Stellite alloy 6 has high resistance to a variety of corrosive media and excellent oxidizing resistance to about 1095 0C. The material is inferior to most nickel base alloys but is resistant to oxidation acids such as acetic, formic, phosphoric and low concentration sulphuric. The alloy is not recommended for strongly reducing acids such as hydrochloric. The material behaves similar to 316SS and the extent of resistance will vary with acid concentration, temperature and contaminants making actual field tests the best method for determining suitability. HEAT TREATMENT This material does not respond to thermal treatments but may be stress relieved for machining by holding at 900 0C for four hours and slow cool.

The above data have been obtained from experiment and trial results; they are considered to be accurate but do, in no way, constitute a specification
