| Application areas | Exhaust line parts, Mufflers hooks | |
| Cold Forming | Drawing or profil rolling: Like other ferritic steels, drawing UGI® 4512 is not difficult (see below the strain hardening curve of UGI® 4512 during drawing). | |
| Corrosion properties | UGI® 4512 provides a good corrosion resistance in mildly aggressive environnements. UGI® 4512 has a high destructive scaling temperature thus exhibiting good scaling resistance in both contin-uous and intermittent service up to 800°C. Its weight loss when exposed for 100 h at 800°C is lower than 10 mg/cm², thus corrosion resistance of UGI® 4512 at such temperature is much better than alloyed car-bon steel. UGI® 4512 shows good corrosion resistance specially towards acidic condensates found in both gasoline or diesel exhaust lines. As many ferritic stainless steels, UGI® 4512 is not sensitive to stress corrosion cracking mechanisms. | |
| Heat Treatment | A softening thermal treatment can be done in a temperature range from 800 to 850° followed by air cool-ing.This thermal treament transforms martensite formed during forging (or rolling) in parts where the structure is mainly ferritic containing precipitates of carbon, nitrogen and titanium. This ferritic structure ex-hibits a much better cold forming behavior than a structure containing both martensite and ferrite phases. | |
| Hot forming | UGI® 4512 has a dual phase structure at high temperature (ferrite and austenite). It’s forging properties are then not as good as ferritic grades which exhibit 100% ferrite phase at high temperature. Forging proper-ties of UGI® 4512 remain however acceptable. UGI® 4512 can be forged between 950 and 1200°C followed by a softening thermal treatment (see Thermal treatment paragraph) on forged parts to avoid generation of martensite phases during forging. | |
| Other | Available products: Other options: contact the supplier | |
| Welding | UGI® 4512 has a good weldability. In order to avoid grain growth in the thermal affected zone, welding at high energies should be avoided. UGI® 4512 is generally welded with argon as protective gas or a mix argon + helium. Addition of hydrogen or nitrogen in the mix of protective gases should be prohibited as it lowers ductility of welded areas. Welded areas should be descaled mechanically or chemically and passivated afterwards. | |
