ASTM A506 5150 Introduce

ASTM A506 5150 is an iron-based, low-alloy austenitic stainless steel. It is characterized by its low carbon content, which results in an increase in strength and a decrease in ductility compared to other steel materials. It is also resistant to corrosion. This steel is often used in the manufacturing of various parts and components, such as machinery and equipment, automotive applications, and building construction.

Smelting temperature:1143°C - 1847°C
