UGIPERM® 12FM Solution Annealed
UGIPERM® 12FM Solution Annealed introduction
UGIPERM® 12FM is a free-machining ferritic stainless steel containing 12% chromium and an addition of silicon. This grade, which was developed for magnetic applications, has high permeability and a particularly low coercive field. It is specially designed for the manufacture of electromechanical actuators such as electro-injectors or solenoid valves. In addition, its high electrical resistivity makes it possible to obtain short activation times suitable for dynamic magnetic loads, by limiting losses due to eddy currents. The chemical analysis of UGIPERM® 12FM has been optimised to ensure good machinability properties that are particularly suited to the manufacture of mass-produced parts by bar turning. This grade has high magnetic characteristics and medium corrosion resistance, similar to that of 430FR / 4105Si.
In the as-delivered condition, the microstructure of UGIPERM® 12FM consists of ferrite, chromium carbides and manganese sulphides. It is therefore ferromagnetic ("attracted to a magnet").
Equivalent material: DIN 1.4045, EN 1.4045
