Product Description

It is the primary stainless steel used in aviation construction. Chemical and steel industry-applicable grades are SAE steel grades **8, **8L, **6, **6L, **6LN (nitrogen bearing), **2, **9L, and **0L. "L" denotes a carbon percentage less than 0.*3%, mostly used for corrosion heat resistance and reducing sensitivity to chromium carbide formation.Another grade, **2, is used for dissimilar steel welding, also known as universal alloy steel as unknown composition steels can be welded. For high temperature applications at greater than **0°C, grades **9 and **0[3] are preferred. Grade **6 is alloyed with molybdenum (~*3%) for high-temperature strength, pitting and crevice corrosion resistance.
