9Cr18Mo acid-resistant stainless steel material

9Cr18Mo

High-Performance Stainless Steel

Properties:

What type of material is 9Cr18Mo? 9Cr18Mo steel is a high-carbon, high-chromium martensitic stainless steel developed by adding molybdenum to the base composition of 9Cr18 steel. As a result, 9Cr18Mo combines high hardness and excellent wear resistance with good tempering resistance and corrosion resistance. It also exhibits favorable high-temperature dimensional stability.
