Question 1

Which major industrial sectors specify the use of Stainless Steel 3Cr12L Coil for structural applications?

Accepted Answer

Other large industrial sectors that require Stainless Steel 3Cr12L Coil are mines, sugar, heavy transportation and general construction. These may be used in common applications in ore chutes, coal hoppers, railway carriages and bulk material handling equipment. As a choice, it is chosen due to its strength and high life cycle cost compared to painted steel.

Question 2

What characteristics limit the use of Stainless Steel 3Cr12L Coil in high-visibility or architectural projects?

Accepted Answer

The Stainless Steel 3Cr12L Coil easily develops a dull homogeneous rust film in the hostile conditions, commonly known as tea staining, which is both useful and not of visual quality. Although this film covers the steel underneath, the rugged look and discoloration imply that the film is useful only to an extent of utility and industrial application.

Question 3

At what elevated temperature range does the structural stability of Stainless Steel 3Cr12L Coil become compromised?

Accepted Answer

tainless Steel 3Cr12L Coil is subject to the 475 degree embrittlement as other ferritic grades do when kept at that range of temperatures over long periods. It is also prone to sigma phase embrittlement at even greater higher temperatures. The use of this risk is limited to long term high temperature service.
