Aisi 442
AISI 442 is a high-chromium ferritic stainless steel designed for high-temperature oxidation resistance and thermal stability. Its elevated chromium content provides better corrosion and heat resistance than standard ferritic grades such as 430 baja tahan karat.
- Keterangan
AISI 442 is a ferritic stainless steel grade known for its excellent oxidation resistance, high chromium content, and good high-temperature performance. Compared with common ferritic stainless steels such as 430 baja tahan karat, AISI 442 contains a much higher chromium content, giving it superior corrosion resistance and heat resistance in oxidizing environments.
This material is commonly used in furnace parts, peralatan perlakuan panas, industrial exhaust systems, and high-temperature structural components.
1. Chemical Composition of AISI 442 Baja Tahan Karat
AISI 442 is a high-chromium ferritic stainless steel.
Komposisi Kimia Khas
| Elemen | Konten Khas |
|---|---|
| Kromium (Kr) | 18.0% – 23.0% |
| Karbon (C) | ≤ 0.20% |
| mangan (M N) | ≤ 1.00% |
| Silikon (Dan) | ≤ 1.00% |
| Fosfor (P) | ≤ 0.04% |
| Sulfur (S) | ≤ 0.03% |
| Nikel (Di dalam) | Low or trace |
The high chromium content is the key factor responsible for the material’s oxidation and corrosion resistance.
2. Karakteristik Kinerja Utama
Ketahanan Oksidasi Yang Sangat Baik
AISI 442 performs very well in high-temperature oxidizing environments due to its high chromium level.
Ketahanan Korosi Yang Baik
