X46CR13 stainless steel has good corrosion resistance, abrasion resistance and cutting performance, and is widely used in machinery, aerospace, aerospace, chemical, medical and other fields.

In the field of aerospace, X46CR13 stainless steel is often used to make turbine blades, rotors, propeller and other components.

In the field of chemical industry, X46CR13 stainless steel is often used to manufacture equipment, tanks, pipelines and other equipment. In the medical field, X46CR13 stainless steel is often used to make medical devices such as surgical knives and surgical equipment.

What are the characteristics of X46CR13 stainless steel? 

X46CR13 stainless steel is a Martensitic stainless steel, with a component of about 13 % chromium. This stainless steel resistance is often used in the food industry. It also has good wear resistance and is often used for high wear applications, such as tools and cutting tools.

How is X46CR13 stainless steel manufactured?

X46CR13 stainless steel is the iron in the stove first. Then pour the melted iron into the steel bag and cool it. This will cause the iron cake and send it to the steel mill for further processing. In the steel mill, iron and carbon and other elements are combined to form steel. The exact composition of X46CR13 stainless steel will change according to the manufacturer, but it usually contains 13 to 15 % chromium.

How is X46Cr13 heat treatment?

X46CR13 can adopt different thermal treatment processes to change its performance, including annealing, quenching and recovery.

Antuction treatment (solid solution treatment): Heat the X46CR13 material to 800-900 ° C, heat the heat for a period of time, and then slowly cool down. This process is called annealing treatment. Antuction can improve the toughness and reliability of the material and improve the processing performance of the material. 

Exercise treatment: Heat the decreasing X46CR13 material to high temperature (usually 950-1050 ° C), and then quickly cool down. The quenching treatment can significantly improve the hardness and intensity of the material, but it may cause the material to become crispy. 

Calling treatment: Heat the quenching X46CR13 material again to the medium temperature range (usually 150-250 ° C), and then cool down after the heat preservation. The recovery treatment can improve the toughness and reliability of the material while maintaining a certain hardness and abrasion resistance.

How does X46Cr13 weld?

X46CR13 stainless steel can be welded by the following methods:

Tig welding: Tig welding is a high -quality welding method, suitable for thinner stainless steel materials. In TIG welding, the molten pond is used to use inert gas such as gaseous gas, and use the arc heating and melting filling materials and the mother material for welding. It should be noted that in Tig welding, avoid overheating and excessive melting to avoid cracks and oxidation.

Mig/MAG welding: Mig/MAG welding is a commonly used welding method that is suitable for thicker stainless steel materials. In Mig/MAG welding, the molten pond is protected by inert gas or active gas, and welding is heated and melted filling and melting filling materials and the mother material. It should be noted that the current and voltage should be controlled in Mig/MAG welding to avoid overheating and excessive melting. At the same time, pay attention to selecting appropriate filling materials.

Arc welding: arc welding is a relatively simple welding method that is suitable for thicker stainless steel materials. In arc welding, welded with arc heating and melting filling materials and mother material. It should be noted that arc welding is prone to oxidation and cracks, so it is necessary to control welding parameters and use appropriate welding materials.
