What is CF8M stainless steel?
CF8M, its equivalent type 316, is the most widely used American Standard austenitic stainless steel casting grade. The first letter "C" indicates that this alloy is primarily for corrosion resistance. The second letter "F" is the approximate position on the iron-chromium-nickel (FeCrNi) ternary diagram, indicating the content of iron, chromium and nickel. The number "8" refers to the maximum carbon content in 0.01% increments. In this case, 0.08%. The last letter "M" indicates the presence of molybdenum.
It offers a good balance of corrosion resistance, usability, strength and cost. It also has excellent corrosion resistance under normal atmospheric conditions, including coastal exposure. It is also resistant to most water and salt water at ambient temperature.
CF8M stainless steel casting
Like other stainless steel alloys (CF3, CF3M, CF8, etc.), CF8M stainless steel is one of the most commonly used grades in investment casting. Jiachuancasting can manufacture CF8M stainless steel castings in various shapes. Please contact us if you have any project regarding CF8M stainless steel castings.
