1.4122 - X 39 Cr Mo 17 1 AFNOR General characteristics Quench-hardenable ferro-martensitic stainless steel recommended in high wear applications.

The higher Molybdenum content as compared to grade 431 increases its pitting corrosion resistance. Corrosion resistance is inferior to that of the 300 series of austenitic stainless steels. It presents high mechanical properties after quenching and can be magnetizable.

Fabrication characteristics If slowly cooled after annealing, cold forming is not difficult. Final hardening is obtained after the last annealing by quenching. This type of alloy is quite brittle in the as-hardened condition and must be usually tempered to obtain useful toughness.

Welding, brazing and soldering Due to the age hardening tendency, welding is delicate. Annealing is necessary after welding. Welding with WIG or oxyacetylene torch are possible. Preheat from 300C to 400C before welding. Available products Sheets, ribbons, wires, profiles, tubes, dimensions and tolerances on request.
