Description
X5CrNiCuNb16-4 Round Bars / 1.4542 Round Bars
X5CrNiCuNb16-4 Round Bars is a Precipitation Hardening Martensitic Stainless Steel offers an excellent combination of High Strength, Corrosion Resistance and Toughness. It is widely used in Aerospace, Marine, Petrochemical, Power Generation, Oil & Gas and Precision Engineering Industries.
X5CrNiCuNb16-4 / 1.4542 steel is suitable for use in maritime environments due to its combination of good mechanical properties and corrosion resistance.
1.4542 / X5CrNiCuNb16-4 provides an excellent solution if stronger corrosion resistance and mechanical properties are required than those provided by martensitic steels. This stainless steel is susceptible to crevice corrosion in stagnant seawater.
M/s Textron Steel and Alloys is a leading supplier, stockist, and exporter of X5CrNiCuNb16-4 Round Bars.
