FV520B Stainless Steel Thin Sheet Technical Manual

FV520B Sheet Performance Characteristics and Applications

1. Performance Characteristics

1.1 High Strength and High-Temperature Resistance
FV520B sheet maintains excellent strength even in high-temperature environments, making it suitable for high-load applications. Its tensile and yield strengths are both high, and its strength reaches its maximum peak after high-temperature tempering, providing reliable protection against extreme conditions.

1.2 Excellent Corrosion Resistance
Through the synergistic effect of alloying elements such as chromium, nickel, and molybdenum, this material exhibits resistance to a wide range of chemical media, including pitting and crevice corrosion. This provides significant protection in complex environments such as chemical plants and offshore platforms, extending equipment life.

1.3 Excellent Machinability and Weldability
FV520B sheet can be optimized through heat treatments (such as annealing, quenching, and aging) to optimize mechanical properties. It also supports conventional welding processes with minimal post-weld performance loss. Its high adaptability to both cold and hot working facilitates the fabrication of complex components.

2. Main Applications

2.1 Chemical and Petroleum Equipment
Used in the manufacture of reactors, heat exchangers, and storage tanks, its corrosion resistance ensures stable operation in chemical media, making it suitable for harsh industrial environments.

2.2 Aerospace and High-Temperature Components
In high-temperature components such as aircraft engines, FV520B sheet’s strength and high-temperature resistance ensure safety and reliability, supporting the demanding demands of the aerospace industry.

2.3 Mechanical and Construction Applications
