Stainless Steel Grade AISI 501 | EN 1.7362 | DIN X11CrMo5

AISI 501 | EN 1.7362 | DIN X11CrMo5 15Х5М - martensitic «*stainless steel grade» is resistant to corrosion, provides heat resistance and good mechanical properties at high temperatures. Magnetic in any condition. Almost always annealed when used.

AISI 501 | EN 1.7362 is a heat-resistant grade, which is also classified as boiler steel. It is suitable for work under pressure and at elevated temperatures. It has good strength properties at elevated temperatures and resistance to hydrogen under pressure. It is used to work with a load and pressure of up to 100 atm, at a temperature of 450 ℃ - 600 ℃.

It is mainly used in the form of pipes, sheets and hot rolled rods in the production of equipment for cracking crude oil in oil refineries containing 0.75% sulfur medium.

Variants (analogues) of the grade with 7-9% chromium content are selected for use at higher sulfur concentrations. In addition to its main purpose, the steel is also used in the manufacture of coal hydrogenation apparatus, ammonia synthesis equipment, superheaters and air heaters, steam boiler parts, screws or bolts operating in aggressive conditions, turbine blades, pump parts, manometer covers or springs.

Characteristics

Stainless steel AISI 501 has a density of 7.8 g/cm³ and has a number of physical properties that make it suitable for various applications. For example, the melting point is 1420 °C, and the coefficient of thermal expansion is low. In addition, it has excellent corrosion resistance, is easy to weld, and metal from this grade can be formed and processed using standard technologies. Magnetic properties: magnetic.
