ChromNickelStähle
ChromNickelStähle, also known as stainless steels containing chromium and nickel, are a significant class of metallic materials prized for their corrosion resistance and desirable mechanical properties. The addition of chromium forms a passive oxide layer on the surface, which self-heals and protects the underlying metal from oxidation and attack by various environmental factors. Nickel further enhances this passive layer, improves ductility, and increases resistance to certain types of corrosion, such as pitting and crevice corrosion.
These steels are broadly categorized into three main groups based on their microstructure: austenitic, ferritic, and
The versatility of ChromNickelStähle leads to their widespread use in numerous industries. They are found in
