Sandvik 4C54

Sandvik 4C54 introduction

Sandvik 4C54 is a ferritic, heat resisting, stainless chromium steel, characterized by:

Extremely good resistance to reducing sulphurous gases
Very good resistance to oxidation in air
Good resistance to oil-ash corrosion
Good resistance to molten copper, lead and tin

This steel can be used at temperatures up to 1100°C (2010°F). However, allowance should be made for low creep strength at the highest temperatures in order to avoid distortion due to the mass of the steel.

More technical information and charts that are relevant to the materials corrosion, mechanical and physical performance are displayed in the figures on the right side of the material page.
