Cast Stainless Steel CA6NM |
|
Type CA6NM is a Fe-Cr-Ni-Mo alloy. The alloy could be hardened by heat treatment. It is similar in general corrosion resistance to type CA15, but the addition of nickel and molybdenum to the CA6NM composition improves its resistance to attack by sea water. Although the tensile strength properties of CA6NM are comparable to those of CA15, the impact strength is about twice as high, as is the resistance to damage from cavitation effects.

Melting Point(oC) |
The alloy is hardened by heating between 1040 to 1070°C followed by cooling in either air or oil. After the castings have cooled below the martensite finish temperature, which varies with the compositional balance, they should be tempered.The alloy is tempered at 590 to 620°C).Tempering in the vicinity of 480°C should be avoided because lower toughness will result. |
