Alliage 330
Alloy 330 is an austenitic nickel-iron-chromium alloy with a specific addition of 1.25% silicon. It was developed specifically to handle the rigors of the industrial heat-treating environment, offering exceptional resistance to carburization and thermal shock.
- Formes courantes : Plate, Sheet, Round Bar, Pipe, Mesh.
- Caractéristiques principales : Excellent Carburization & Oxidation Resistance.
- La force : Good strength up to 2100°F (1150°C).
- Stability: Resistant to thermal cycling and quenching.
In heat treating furnaces, metals undergo brutal conditions: rapid heating, quenching, and exposure to carbon-rich atmospheres. Standard stainless steels become brittle or dissolve. Alloy 330 excels here because its **Silicon** content aids in the formation of a tightly adherent oxide scale, while its high **Nickel** content (35%) prevents embrittlement (sigma phase formation) and stress corrosion cracking.
Résistance à la cémentation
The alloy resists the absorption of carbon and nitrogen, preventing the material from becoming brittle during carburizing and carbonitriding cycles.
Thermal Shock Resistance
Designed to withstand rapid temperature changes, such as oil quenching, without cracking or severe distortion.
Immunity to Sigma Phase
The microstructure remains stable even after long-term exposure to intermediate temperatures, unlike Incoloy 800 or 300 series stainless.
