Straight Chromium Steel

Distinguishes chromium steel from chromium nickel stainless steel. There are two grades of straight chromium steel. Its “hardenable” quality has excellent corro­sion resisting properties under all condit­ions of heat treatment and is widely used for products in contact with basic salts and waste products. Also used for wire springs. The non-hardenable quality has a high chromium content, enhancing corro­sion-resisting properties.
