Description: CLC 18.10LN is a 18Cr-10Ni austenitic stainless steel with specific Nitrogen additions. Its low carbon content avoids intergranular corrosion, even on welded pieces without an ulterior water quenching. Alloys CLC 18.10LN exhibits an austenitic microstructure free of deleterious carbide precipitations at grain boundaries. The grade contains some residual ferrite (=2%) after solution annealing (1050 - 1150°C / 1922 - 2102 °F) and water quenching. Nitrogen alloying :- improves tensile properties at room and moderate temperatures
- improves structure stability of austenite at very low temperature or under severe cold deformations
- does not affect weldability or fabricability
- improves localized corrosion resistant properties
Typical applications are food processing industry, chemical industry.Tensile properties after water quenching.
