Cast Stainless Steel CF8 |
|
Type CF3 is a Fe-Cr-Ni alloy having good strength and ductility, and excellent resistance to a wide variety of Corrosive medias. The alloy is especially useful in resisting attack by strongly oxidizing media such as boiling nitric acid. Castings of type CF8 alloy also have excellent sub-zero properties. |
