13-8MO Stainless Steel Round Bar S13800 XM-13

About 13-8MO Stainless Steel Round Bar S13800 XM-13

he 13-8MO Stainless Steel Round Bar is a high-performance, martensitic precipitation-hardening stainless steel renowned for its exceptional combination of strength, hardness, corrosion resistance, and toughness. Designated by the industry-standard names S13800 or XM-13, this round bar is a top choice for applications demanding reliable performance in challenging environments.

Key Features:

• Chemical Composition: Contains approximately 13% chromium, 8% nickel, and variable molybdenum, along with other alloying elements crucial for precipitation hardening.
• Strength and Hardness: Exhibits high strength and hardness, making it suitable for components subjected to heavy loads and wear.
• Corrosion Resistance: Offers good corrosion resistance, particularly in aerospace and aggressive industrial environments. The addition of molybdenum enhances resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion.
• Toughness: Maintains toughness even at high strength levels, ensuring durability in demanding applications.
• Heat Treatment: Capable of undergoing a precipitation hardening process through solution annealing, contributing to its remarkable mechanical properties.
• Machinability: Demonstrates good machinability in the annealed condition, allowing for easier fabrication. However, machining in the precipitation-hardened state may present challenges due to increased hardness.
