XM-16 Custom 455 /UNS S45500 age-hardening stainless steel round bar

XM-16 custom 455 UNS S45500 age-hardening stainless steel round bar
Custom 455 is a martensitic age hardenable stainless steel, which has properties of high strength and good corrosion resistance
Custom 455 is relatively soft and formable in the annealed condition, however through a single-stage aging treatment Custom 455 develops an exceptionally high yield strength with good ductility and toughness
Other designations that are equivalent to custom 455 stainless steel include:
AMS 5578
AMS 5617
AMS 5672
AMS 5860
ASTM A313
ASTM A564
ASTM A693
ASTM A705
MIL F-83311
MIL S-83311
Applications of custom 455
Grade 455 stainless steel alloy is mainly used in applications where martensitic fail in terms of corrosion resistance and standard austenitic fail in terms of strength requirements in corrosive environments
