GB/T 20878 015Cr21Ni26Mo5Cu2 Introduce
GB/T 20878 015Cr21Ni26Mo5Cu2 stainless steel is a one-piece austenitic chromium-nickel alloy, usually used in applications that require high strength, corrosion and abrasion resistance. It contains chromium, nickel and molybdenum, as well as phosphorus and sulfur, which improve its mechanical properties and resistance to oxidation and corrosion. The addition of molybdenum stabilizes the austenitic structure and increases the alloy's resistance to pitting, crevice corrosion and general corrosion.
