Even Rockwell hardness would be usefull. This alloy sounds like a substitute
for stainless steel in a corrosive enviroment. Is it classed as a stainless?
I spent 7 years in QA/QC in oilfield equipment during the 80s. We used a lot
of 300 and 400 series stainless steels in our products. Mostly 316 308 and
410. In some applications we nitride case hardened the parts or added
carbide inserts or tips. Most of our problems centered around high pressure
in a corrosive enviroment, cold service, and venturi effect /w corrosive
enviroment. Sometimes all three conditions at once.
I wish I had an opportunity to learn more. Metalurgy was pretty interesting.
