• Excellent impact toughness – resistant to dynamic loads;
• Superb machinability – can be mechanically and thermally processed;
• Low residual stress – ensures dimensional stability after heat treatment;
• High corrosion resistance – resistant to oxidation and corrosion in industrial conditions.

Chemical Composition

• Nickel (Ni): 17.0-19.0%
• Cobalt (Co): 8.5-10.0%
• Molybdenum (Mo): 4.5-5.2%
• Titanium (Ti): 0.8-1.2%
• Carbon (C): ≤ 0.03%
• Silicon (Si): ≤ 0.10%
• Manganese (Mn): ≤ 0.10%
• Phosphorus (P): ≤ 0.01%
• Sulfur (S): ≤ 0.01%
