95Cr18 (9Cr18 Steel)

Chinese GB 95Cr18 (9Cr18 steel) is a high-carbon high chromium martensitic stainless steel, which has improved corrosion resistance compared to Cr17 steel, and other properties are similar to those of Cr17.

95Cr18 is the new name of 9Cr18, that is to say, 9Cr18 = 95Cr18.

9Cr18 stainless steel mainly used in the manufacture of corrosion resistant high strength wear resistant components such as shafts, pumps, valve parts, rods, springs, fasteners, etc. Due to the extremely easy formation of non-uniform carbides in the steel, which affects the quality and performance of the steel, attention should be paid to the production.
