Cast Stainless Steel CN7M

Type CN7M covers a group of related complex Fe-Ni-Cr-Cu alloys that contain more nickel than chromium. The high nickel content, together with the added elements molybdenum and copper, give these alloys especially good resistance to sulfuric acid and many reducing chemicals. Among the alloys included in this type designation, alloy 20 is produced in greatest quantity.Whereas the chromium predominant alloys have poor or no resistance to hydrochloric acid, type CN7M has good resistance to dilute acid and hot chloride salt solutions. The alloy also will resist nitric acid satisfactorily.
