CHRONIFER M-15 X, Band

Brief description

Klein designation: CHRONIFER M-15 X, Band
Class of steels: 1.4057 / AISI – Martensitic stainless steel
Material number: 1.4057
Standard UNS: S43100
RoHS 2 – 2011/65/EU:
Machinability:
Hardening capability:
Forming: Warm: forging: 950 – 1’180°C, slow heating up to 850°C, then faster, slow furnace cooling after forging. This steel tends to inter-granular precipitation of carbides leading to inter-crystalline corrosion. Therefore, a solution anneal after warm forming is recommended.
Cold: Feasible after anneal at 750 – 825°C, slow cooling, Rm ≤ 760 MPa
Cold working hardening:
Polishing ability: Well adapted to mirror polish, optimal tempered < 200°C
Magnetism:
Corrosion resistance: Optimal: Clean, polished, passivized surface in the quenched-tempered condition. Conditions to avoid: annealed and “annealed + cold deformed”. These conditions should be avoided due to the increased inter-granular corrosion risk. They must be avoided for any permanent uses.
Uses: This steel is well adapted for medical, surgical and dental instruments. It is well indicated for the production of parts for many industries, such as i.e. automotive, chemical, oil and petrochemical, paper, agricultural, food, aerospace, instrumentation and precision mechanical engineering, natural energy extractions and conversions.
