Sandvik 1C256

Generic Family: Steel - Wrought - Stainless - Ferritic • Supplied by: Sandvik Materials Technology

Sandvik 1C256 is a ferritic chromium steel for hightemperature applications. The grade is characterized by:

Good resistance to reducing sulphurous gases

Good resistance to oxidation in air

This steel can be used at temperatures up to 850°C (1560°F). However, allowance should be made for the low creep strength at the highest temperatures to avoid distortion due to the inherent mass of the steel.

Applications
Sandvik 1C256 should be chosen mainly for service in slightly sulphidizing gases where low-alloy austenitic stainless steel may suffer corrosion. Typical applications for Sandvik 1C256 are:

Heat exchangers for high-temperature applications

Thermocouple protection tubes

Injection nozzles
