0.05C 8.6Cr-1.8Mo-9.8Ni Low Alloy Steel
metalThis is a high-nickel, chromium-molybdenum low-alloy steel designed for demanding structural and fastening applications requiring a combination of strength and toughness at elevated or variable temperatures. The composition—approximately 9.8% Ni, 8.6% Cr, and 1.8% Mo with minimal carbon (0.05%)—places it in the family of aerospace-grade and power-generation steels, where it is used in critical components that must resist fatigue, corrosion, and thermal cycling. Its nickel and chromium content provides excellent notch toughness and corrosion resistance, while the molybdenum enhances high-temperature strength; this alloy is notable for maintaining reliable performance in applications where conventional carbon or low-alloy steels would fail under combined mechanical and environmental stresses.
