X7CrNiAl17-7

HuaNickel X7CrNiAl17-7 is an austenitic-martensitic precipitation hardened stainless steel developed on the basis of 18-8CrNi. It is also known as controlled phase change stainless steel.After solution treatment, it is an unstable austenite structure, with good plasticity and processability, after adjustment, the carbide phenology composition of austenite precipitation changes, and then after martensite transformation treatment, most of the structure is transformed into low-carbon tempered martensite with good toughness, which is the use state of steel and has good mechanical properties at medium temperature. The corrosion resistance is better than that of martensitic stainless steel.

X7CrNiAl17-7Process performance：

Heat treatment: 1050°C, water-cooled or air-cooled +760°C, 90min, air-cooled to no higher than 15°C+565°C, 90min, air-cooled

Processability:

Hot processing: the maximum heating temperature is 1150 °C, the open forging (rolling) temperature is about 1100 °C, the termination temperature should not be less than 950 °C, and the air cooling after forging and rolling.

Cold work: The tendency of cold work hardening is large, and it is advisable to adopt the method of less pass and large pressure and multiple intermediate solution treatment in cold rolling, cold drawing or stamping. Cold-worked finished products should be solved in a protective atmosphere.
