Stainless Steel VS Carbon Steel Which is Better for Pipes and Fittings - Header

Stainless Steel VS Carbon Steel: Which is Better for Pipes and Fittings?

The main difference lies in chromium content,stainless steel contains a minimum of 10.5% chromium. This element forms a thin, passive layer. This layer prevents rust and corrosion. Carbon steel lacks this chromium. It is primarily an alloy of iron and carbon,so it rusts easily when exposed to moisture. This key difference dictates their applications.

Nimonic 86 Overview | Chemical Composition | Mechanical Properties

Nimonic 86 is a solid solution strengthened alloy, which means it cannot be age hardened. Its strength is realized through its chemical composition. It contains high levels of chromium and molybdenum, which provide excellent resistance to high-temperature oxidation and carburization. It provides reliable performance at temperatures up to 1100℃ (2012 ℉).

What is Age Hardening of Stainless Steel ?

Age hardening is divided into two main steps. First, the alloy is heated, which is called solid solution treatment, and it dissolves all the alloying elements. Then, the material is rapidly cooled, which is called quenching, and the alloying elements are “trapped” in solution. Next, the material is reheated to a lower temperature, which is called aging. The trapped elements form fine particles, which impede dislocation motion, which strengthens the material.
