CarTech Chrome Core 13-XP alloy is a controlled chemistry, free machining, ferritic 13% chromium alloy which is a candidate for use in magnetic components where corrosion resistance superior to pure iron, low carbon steel and silicon-iron alloys is desired. The alloy exhibits comparable salt spray corrosion resistance when compared to the 18% Cr ferritic stainless steels without the substantial decrease in saturation induction.

Applications:
Applications could include fuel injection components as well as other electromechanical devices requiring some degree of corrosion resistance, either in service or for extended shelf life without the need for protective coatings. The CarTech Chrome Core series of alloys have been used in automotive components such as fuel injectors, fuel pump motor laminations and ABS solenoids.
