08Х18Н12Б — stainless Steel: Composition, Properties & Applications
Also known as: 08Х18Н12Б
GOST (Russia) steel grade 08Х18Н12Б
CHEMICAL COMPOSITION
C:≤0.08;Si:≤1.00;Mn:≤2.00;Cr:18.00-20.00;Ni:12.00-15.00;Nb:8×C-1.00;P:≤0.035;S:≤0.030
TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
Russian state standard (GOST) steel grade.
AVAILABLE FORMS
Bar, plate, sheet, tube, forgings, strip, wire
HEAT TREATMENT
Solution anneal 1010–1150 °C followed by rapid water quench to retain austenite; not hardenable by heat treatment. Sensitization avoided by low carbon or stabilizers (Ti/Nb).
PROCESSING PRECAUTIONS
Weld with low-carbon or stabilized filler (e.g., 316L, 347) to avoid sensitization; passivate after fabrication. Not hardenable, but work-hardens rapidly — use sharp tools and rigid setups. Avoid chloride contact for 304 in warm service; specify 316/317 for marine or aggressive media.
