Martensitic cast steels

A precipitation hardening grade with good strength properties and corrosion and wear
4Е G-X 5 CrNiCu 16 4 1.4525 А 747-99 СВ7Сu-2 0,07 14,0-15,5 4,5-5,5 2,5-3,2 1205 5 400 resistance. Used for pump components.

Austenitic cast steels (solution heat treated)

Improved resistance to hot sulphuric and organic acids due to a high molybdenum content.
4G C-X 5 CrNiMo 19 11 3 1.4412 А 743-98а CG-3M 0,03 18,0-21,0 9,0-13,0 3,0-4,0 30,8 520 25 160 Molybdenum increases the pitting resistance of steel.

43 C-X 4 NiCrCuMo 30 20 4 1.4527 А 743-98а CN-7M 0,07 19,0-22,0 27,5-30,5 2,0-3,0 3,0-4,0 30 425 35 140 A grade for castings where resistance to sulphuric acid is essential.

Excellent corrosion resistance. Nitrogen also gives very good resistance to pitting and crevice
4U AVESTA 654SMO 1.4652 UNS S32654 0,025 23,0-25,0 21,0-23,0 7,1-7,5 0,3-0,7 0,4-0,55 56 600 35 220 corrosion. Resistant to hot acids with high chloride content. Used in sea water applications,
phosphoric acid slurries, and in the liquids containing halides.

Duplex steels (austenitic-ferritic, solution heat treated)

Steel with better tensile and yield strength and better machinability than austenitic steels. Use
41 G-X 2 CrNiMoN 25 6 3 1.4468 А-890-99 3А 0,06 24,0-27,0 4,0-6,0 1,75-2,5 0,15-0,25 34,5 655 25 230 for various equipment in the chemical and metallurgical industries.

Similar grade to the previous one. The copper content improves corrosion resistance in e. g.
4L G-X 2 CrNiMoN 25 6 3 3 1.4517 А-890-99 1А 0,04 24,0-26,5 4,75-6,0 1,75-2,25 2,75-3,25 0,1-0,25 35,6 690 16 250 weak sulphuric acid solutions. Molybdenum improves general corrosion resistance.

The best resistance against pitting corrosion among duplex steels. High molybdenum content
4T G-X 2 CrNiMoN 26 7 4 1.4469 А-890-99 5А 0,03 24,0-26,0 6,0-8,0 4,0-5,0 0,1-0,3 43,1 690 18 250 guarantees excellent resistance in sulphuric and phosphoric acids with halides content. High
hardness improves wear resistance.

Nickel alloys (solution heat treated)

High Cr and Mo contents make the alloy suitable for reducing and oxidizing and otherwise
4J 2.4697 А-494-00 CW-6M 0,07 17,0-20,0 balance 17,0-20,0 495 25 180 severely corroding conditions. Good resistance to sulphuric acid, and also to hydrochloric acid
up to concentration of app.. 10%.

Wear resistant cast irons EN 12513

High-chromium white cast iron for wear resistant pumps. The high chromium content
А532-93а Class III Type
5B EN-GJN-HV600 (xCr23) EN-JN-3049 2,0-3,0 23,0-30,0 max 2,5 max 3,0 max 1,2 600 guarantees reasonable corrosion resistance. Well suited for wearing applications in alkaline
A conditions.

*PRE [Pitting Resistance Equivalent] indicates resistance against pitting and crevice forms of corrosion. PRE is calculated from sum of most important alloying elements by formula:
PRE=Cr%+3,3xMo%+16xN%
