X39CrMo17-1, 1.4122, X38CrMo16, 1.2316 - specification and application

Chrome-molybdenum stainless martensitic steel for quenching, showing the structure of perlite after heat treatment. After hardening and tempering it reaches the hardness of 220 - 275 HB depending on the dimensions.

It shows corrosion resistance in environments containing nitric acid in low concentrations, nitrate, bicarbonate and ammonium nitrite, zinc carbonate, manganese chloride, vinegar, potassium nitrate and mixtures, sodium chloride, sodium hydroxide, water, steam, acetone, alcohol, gasoline, glycerine, chloroform, oleic acid and salicylic acid.

It is not resistant to chlorine solutions, hydrochloric acid, acetic acid, hydrofluoric acid, orthophosphoric acid, potassium sulphate, sulphuric acid, citric acid, lactic acid, formic acid, oxalic acid and tartaric acid.

The conclusion from the chemical composition cannot be ignored without stating that grade 1.4122 and derivatives are more suitable in the form of a product for the production of mechanical elements that exhibit basic corrosion resistance than vice versa. The product has excellent mechanical properties in basic corrosive environments, if properly treated, does not corrode, exhibits good properties at elevated temperatures, good polishing properties, is unfortunately not suitable for welding and is not resistant to intergranular corrosion.

The closest equivalent of 1.4122 / X39CrMo17-1 classified as a tool steel is X36CrMo17 / 1.2316. 1.4122 is a great alternative to 4H13 / X46Cr13 / 1.4034 grade - it has similar properties and much better corrosion resistance. It is used in industry for the production of shafts, gears, spindles, bodies and moulds for the production of plastics, metal casting, mandrels, valves, toolholders, screws, pins and surgical instruments.
