AK Steel’s 15 Cr-Cb ULTRA FORM® is a low-carbon, low-nitrogen ferritic grade of stainless steel with an intermediate, 14.5% chromium content. Alloying additions of Ti, Cb, Si and Mn provide excellent room temperature formability and impart superior hot strength and high temperature oxidation resistance when compared to Type 409, Type 439, Type 430, 11 Cr-Cb™ and Type 436. This grade’s alloying additions, combined with AK Steel’s proprietary ULTRA FORM® processing technology, yield a fine, equiaxed grain structure that enhances room temperature formability and minimizes ridging.
