Question 1

What makes Stainless Steel 446 Round Bar suitable for high temperature applications?

Accepted Answer

Stainless Steel 446 Round Bar is a ferritic alloy resistant to heat which is considered to have great resistance to oxidation and sulfidation at high temperatures. It contains a lot of chromium hence retaining structural integrity during extreme heat conditions hence it can be used in furnace parts, kiln linings and baffles in boilers

Question 2

How does the machinability of Stainless Steel 446 Round Bar compare to other grades?

Accepted Answer

Although Stainless Steel 446 Round Bar is a good material in terms of the high temperature oxidation resistance, it is more difficult to machine than other types of stainless steel. This level of chromium may create a tendency to wear the tools, which require sharpened cutting edges and the use of suitable machining parameters.

Question 3

In which industries is Stainless Steel 446 Round Bar predominantly used?

Accepted Answer

Stainless Steel 446 Round Bar is majorly employed in the sectors that demand materials of high temperature and corrosion ability. Common ones are furnace components, heat exchanger components and chemical process equipment. It is very resistant to oxidation and sulfidation and hence is a heavy favorite in the power generation, petrochemical and manufacturing sectors.
