Description
16Kh magnetic properties and applications
The technical record identifies 16Kh as an alloy for magnetic cores, control-system armatures and electrical-machine components. The quotation should specify the governing standard, required magnetic condition, heat treatment, dimensions, tolerances and inspection documentation.
Alloy 16KH used: for the manufacture of magnetic cores of different management systems anchors and magnets; parts of electrical machines without protective coatings, working in difficult conditions of exposure medium, temperature and pressure.
Note
Alloy with a high induction in weak and medium-sized fields and a low coercive force; with corrosion resistance in some acidic and corrosive environments.

| Features of heat treatment | To obtain characteristic values of mechanical properties and hardness set ST CKBA 010 and to achieve maximum corrosion resistance, parts (workpiece) valves shall be subjected to annealing. To reduce the residual magnetic induction in the magnetic circuit of the electromagnets of the details (blank) should be subjected to high temperature annealing in vacuum. High-temperature annealing in vacuum parts from alloy grade 16X-VI provides obtaining magnetic induction: ≥6000 Gauss in box 1 AB/cm; ≥12000 Gauss in a field of 25 AB/cm; ≥14500 Gauss in a field of 100 aw/cm Before annealing the parts need to be degreased. |
| Machining by cutting | Machining of parts after annealing is not recommended, as it dramatically reduces the magnetic properties of steel 16X-VI. |
