PRODUCT MATERIAL

STAINLESS STEEL 13-8PHDownload

13-8 stainless is a martensitic precipitation hardening stainless steel that has excellent strength, high hardness, superior toughness and good corrosion resistance. Good transverse toughness properties are achieved by tight chemical composition control, low carbon content, and vacuum melting. Typical applications are large airframe structural components and injection molding equipment.

Heat Treament

13-8 Stainless is available in the annealed condition, which is also called the solution heat treat condition or Condition A. Solution treat from 1675 - 1725°F for 15 to 30 minutes at temperature. Air cool or oil quench to below 60°F to effect complete transformation to martensite. Aging is normally carried out from 950 - 1150°F, depending on the desired final properties. Heat treatment is usually performed in air. Heat treatment of brazed components may be done in inert atmospheres. Reducing atmospheres should not be used because of the potential for nitrogen contamination.
