| Can be machined with carbide tipped tools, but when hardness exceeds Rc55 it is best to grind. Applications include cutting tools, bearing races, guide rolls, and nozzle discs. Excellent resistance to hot abrasion and adhesive wear, low coefficient of friction. Resistant to atmospheric oxidation and forms only a thin adherent scale at red heat. Resists attack from wet chlorine and acetic acid (boiling), excellent resistance to 10% boiling nitric, and 10% sulfuric acid at room temperature. Fair resistance to concentrated nitric boiling and 10% boiling sulfuric. Poor resistance to 77% sulfuric boiling and reducing acids.
