Form:

This specification covers a corrosion-resistant steel in the form of bars, wire, forgings, extrusions, mechanical tubing, flash welded rings, and stock for forging, extruding, or flash welded rings.

Application:

These products have been used typically for parts requiring wear, galling, and corrosion resistance up to 950 °F (510 °C), but usage is not limited to such applications.

Welding, brazing, or other exposure to temperatures over 950 °F (510 °C) during fabrication may impair corrosion resistance.
