1.4935, X20CrMoWV12-1 – description

Creep resistant steel used for thermal engine components in power plants, mainly turbine blades, but fasteners as well. Hardenable. Max temperature for continous operating is 580 °C.

Chrome-nickel steel with an austenitic structure with carbides. Alloying additions of molybdenum, vanadium and tungsten increase the melting temperature, thus having a positive effect on creep resistance.

The steel is hard to weld. It is assigned to welding group 7.2 according to ISO/TR 20172.
