ASTM A322 A322 86L42 Introduce
The amount of chromium in the alloy gives it a high level of corrosion resistance, making it an ideal solution for applications such as food processing and marine environments. The nitrogen, nickel and manganese also help improve corrosion resistance as they act to reduce pitting and crevice corrosion. The machining of ASTM A322 A322 86L42 is quite difficult due to its higher alloy content, meaning it requires machinability lubricants to make it easier. ASTM A322 A322 86L42 should always be used in environments where the temperature can be controlled and it should not be exposed to acidic or alkaline solutions. It is also recommended that welding processes are performed using argon shielding and a special electrode is used.

ASTM A322 A322 86L42 Material Machining Technology
ASTM A322 A322 86L42 is a low-carbon, alloy steel that is typically used for applications requiring higher strength, toughness, and wear resistance. The main alloying elements in the steel are manganese and molybdenum, which together give it superior strength-to-weight ratios. The steel has a hardness between 280 and 350 Brinell, and is generally easily weldable, though preheating or postheating may be necessary in some cases. It is also relatively resistant to corrosion, making it suitable for use in environmentally corrosive environments.
