Corrosion Resistance
C63000 has good resistance to sulphuric, hydrochloric and other non-oxidizing acids, as well as salt water and brackish waters. Its superior erosion and cavitation properties facilitate use in pump and propeller applications. Retention of properties together with good oxidation resistance at elevated temperatures make C63000 suitable for service in internal combustion engines, steam plant applications and chemical processing applications. Very little deterioration takes place below 600° F and oxidation is retarded up to 1200° F by an oxide film. C63000 is very resistant to stress corrosion cracking in numerous applications. Galling is a common problem designers have to overcome when choosing materials. Affinity between two mating metallic surfaces can easily introduce galling when exposed to large bearing pressures and extreme temperatures. C63000 has great galling resistance, making it the material of choice for such applications.
