Zusammenfassung:A corrosion resistant, martensitic steel alloy having very good cold formability is described. The alloy has the following weight percent composition. Carbon 0.10-0.40 Manganese 0.01-2.0 Silicon 2.0 max. Phosphorus 0.2 max. Sulfur 0.030 max. Chromium 10-15 Nickel 0.5 max. Molybdenum 0.75-4.0 Nitrogen 0.02-0.15 Copper 1.5-4.0 Titanium 0.01 max. Aluminum 0.01 max. Niobium + 0.10 max. Tantalum Vanadium 0.20 max. Zirconium less than 0.001 Calcium less than 0.001 The balance of the alloy is essentially iron. Nickel and copper are balanced in the alloy such that the ratio Ni/Cu is less than 0.2. A second embodiment of the alloy contains at least about 0.005% sulfur, selenium, or a combination thereof to provide good machinability.
