Our Chronifer M-17B material is
Manufactured in Rod, Bar and coil
AISI 440B ~ Stainless Steel
Material Properties
This steel is designed to provide
stainless properties with excellent hardness. In some respects it behaves similarly
to tool steel. Chronifer M 17B resists corrosion from mild atmospheres,
fresh water steam, ammonia, many petroleum products and organic materials and
several mild acid environments.

Corrosion Resistance
This grade is used in the hardened
and tempered condition for a good corrosion resistance. For optimum,
corrosion resistance, surfaces must be free of scale and foreign particles.
