| General Information | ||
| Description | ||
|
Chrome Core 12-FM alloy is in a family of controlled chemistry, chromium-iron alloys which are candidates for use in magnetic components where corrosion resistance superior to that of pure iron, low carbon steel and silicon-iron alloys is desired without the substantial decrease in saturation induction associated with 18% Cr ferritic stainless steels. |
||
| Applications | ||
|
Applications could include electro-mechanical devices requiring some degree of corrosion resistance, either in service or for extended shelf life without the need for protective coatings. |
||
| Corrosion Resistance | ||
|
Chrome Core 12-FM alloy exhibited no noticeable rusting in 95°F (35°C) - 95% relative humidity tests and have demonstrated corrosion resistance generally similar to 18% chromium ferric stainless steel in certain simulated alcohol-base fuel environments. |
