1. A study was made of the following methods of milling of ferrochromium: in a vibratory ball mill under alcohol and acetone and in a planetary mill. The most effective was milling for 30 min in the planetary mill, which comminuted 90% of ferrochromium to a particle size of less that 200. 2. The optimum conditions for the production of TiC-Kh12M-steel materials (50, 40, 35, and 30% TiC) with chromium added to the steel in the form of ferrochromium powder were found to be a pressing pressure of 3 tons/cm2, a vacuum sintering temperature of 1430-1470C, and a sintering time of 1 h. The optimum conditions for the heat treatment (annealing, quenching, and tempering) of these materials were determined. 3. Some of the key properties of the materials were investigated. It was established that the properties of TiC -Kh12M-steel materials alloyed with chromium in the form of ferrochromium are virtually identical with those of the same materials containing additions of pure chromium powder. Ferrochromium, however, being cheaper and more readily available than chromium powder, should be used as a starting material in the manufacture of titanium-carbide-steel alloys.

Why is stainless steel more resistant to a chemical charge then regular steel?

The addition of small amounts of certain elements to the alloy, in particular the metal chromium.


What is the main component of stainless steel?

In addition to iron, carbon, and chromium, modern stainless steel may also contain other elements, such as nickel, niobium, molybdenum, and titanium. Nickel, molybdenum, niobium, and chromium enhance the corrosion resistance of stainless steel. It is the addition of a minimum of to the steel 12% chromium that makes it resist rust, or stain 'less' than other types of steel. The chromium in the steel combines with oxygen in the atmosphere to form a thin, invisible layer of chrome-containing oxide, called the passive film.
