Sandvik 2C48 is a ferritic, heat resisting, stainless chromium steel, characterized by: good resistance to reducing sulphurous gasesvery good resistance to oxidation in air good resistance to oil-ash corrosionresistance to molten copper, lead and tin This steel can be used at temperatures up to 1075 °C (1970 °F). However, allowance should be made for the low creep strength at the highest temperatures in order to avoid distortion due to the mass of the steel.
