Fe 15Cr 4.5Ni 3.5Cu 0.3Nb 0.07C Powder Description:
Fe 15Cr 4.5Ni 3.5Cu 0.3Nb 0.07C Powder is a martensitic, precipitation-hardening stainless steel alloy powder, produced through gas atomization using argon. This alloy is noted for its high strength, excellent corrosion resistance, and good toughness. The chromium content forms a protective oxide layer, enhancing corrosion resistance, while nickel and copper add to the alloy's overall strength and stability. Niobium and carbon elements further enhance the material's hardness and wear resistance. This powder is ideal for applications that demand robust performance and durability in challenging environments.
