    Technological properties

    Property
    Application areas

    Electric furnaces, open heating elements for appliances, resistors, exhaust systems.

    Cold Forming

    For cold working the solution-annealed condition is recommended.

    Corrosion properties

    Cronifer® 40 B shows excellent oxidation resistance. This is the result of its high chromium and silicon content. The scale is very resistant to spalling because of the addition of about 0.1 % lanthanum.

    General machinability

    Cronifer® 40 B can be hot and cold worked and machined.

    Heat Treatment

    Solution annealing can be performed at temperatures typically above 1150°C., followed by quenching in water or fast cooling with air or a protective atmosphere. After cold forming a recrystallization heat treatment typically above 1150°C., is required.

    Other

    Cronifer® 40 B has a face-centered-cubic structure.
