Characteristics, Distinctive Advantages & Wide Ranging Applications of Chrome-Manganese Stainless Steels

Abstract:

Developed over last six decades, Chrome-Manganese stainless steels now comprise a whole family of lustrous products in a variety of compositions and properties to facilitate optimal selection of most appropriate grades for a large number of applications .This paper describes properties of some of these steels and how they compare with Chrome-Nickel austenitic stainless steels. Due to their attributes, these stainless steels constitute the fastest growing family of stainless steels in the globe. Some of the applications where these grades have been successfully used are covered. Their advantage in terms of cost effectiveness and material saving is outlined.
