07Х16Н6 — stainless Steel: Composition, Properties & Applications

Aug 23, 2026 0 views 0 comments
Also known as: 07Х16Н6
Russian GOST martensitic-aging stainless.

CHEMICAL COMPOSITION
C:≤0.07;Si:≤0.80;Mn:≤2.00;Cr:15.00-17.00;Ni:5.50-7.00;P:≤0.035;S:≤0.020

TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
International high-end steel for aerospace, oil & gas, defense or engineering.

AVAILABLE FORMS
Bar, plate, sheet, tube, forgings, strip, wire, powder

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.
