Description
12Х18Н12Т steel is used: for the manufacture of sheet and rolled; pipes and various parts operating at temperatures from -196 °C to +600 °C in the aggressive environments of billets intended for the manufacture of seamless cold, warm, hot-wrought, including hot-pressed and hot-pressed reduced pipes for steam boilers and pipelines, installations with high and supercritical steam parameters; welded equipment operating in environments of increased aggressiveness (the solutions of nitric, acetic acids, alkaline solutions and salts); structures to be welded by spot welding; connections of equipment installed in radioactive environments and in contact with aggressive environment; hull structures of ships, vessels, marine equipment products and shipyards (pipelines, fittings, fairings, various instruments).
Note
Low steel, corrosion-resistant, heatresistant and heat-proof.
Stabilized chromium-Nickel steel of austenitic class.
Magnetic permeability μ ≤ 1,01 GS/E. Steel usually contains the α-phase. Unfavorable balance of alloying elements and carbon magnetic permeability can be up to 1.50 GS/E.
Heat treatment — austenization or stabilization, the hot pressure treatment and flexible at temperatures primenyaemyh for hot deformation do not alter the permeability, and hardening higher than 5−10% at room or lower temperatures significantly increases it.
12Х18Н12Т steel has a lower content of ferritic phase than steel 12X18H10T.
The recommended maximum operating temperature for a long time +800 °C, for a very long time +600 °C.
Temperature intense scaling in air +850 °C.
Steel has low friction properties and prone to scuffing, so is not usually used in friction pairs. To improve the antifriction properties of the nitriding is performed under special conditions with the use of ammonium chloride to remove the oxide film.

Workability by cutting |
Has satisfactory machinability. In the hardened state when HB 170 and blower SB=470 MPa Kn TV.SPL.=0,85 Kn b.St.=0,35. |
Features of heat treatment |
Depending on assignment, working conditions, corrosive environment the product is subjected to: a) hardening (austenization); b) stabilizing annealing; C) annealing for stress relieving; d) a stepwise processing. The product is quenched in order to: a) prevent the tendency to intergranular corrosion (products can operate in temperatures up to 350 °C); b) to increase resistance against General corrosion; C) to eliminate the revealed tendency to intergranular corrosion; g) to prevent the tendency to stab corrosion (welded work product in solutions of nitric acid); d) to eliminate residual stress (products simple configuration); e) to increase the plasticity of the material. The quenching products should be carried out on mode: heating to 1050-1100 °C, items material thickness up to 10 mm cooling on air, more than 10 mm in water. Welded parts of complex configuration in order to avoid the leash is to be cooled in the air. The holding time at the heating for hardening to products with a wall thickness up to 10 mm - 30 min, over 10 mm - 20 min + 1 min per 1 mm maximum thickness. In the hardening of products, intended for operation in nitric acid, the heating temperature for hardening must be kept at the upper limit (exposure at the same weldment should be not less than 1 hour). Stabilizing annealing is applied to: a) prevent the tendency to intergranular corrosion (products work at temperatures above 350 °C); b) stress relief; C) the elimination of discovered tendency to intergranular corrosion, if for any reason hardening is inappropriate. A stabilizing annealing, for example for products and welded joints of steels in which the ratio of titanium to carbon 5 or more of niobium to carbon greater than 8. Stabilizing annealing to prevent the tendency to intergranular corrosion products, operating at temperatures over 350 °C can be subjected to steel containing not more than 0.08 % of carbon. Stabilising annealing should be carried out according to the mode: heating up to 870-900 °C, exposure time of 2-3 h, cooling in air. During heat treatment of large welded products are permitted to carry out local stabilizing annealing of closing seams in the same mode, with all welded components shall be subjected to a stabilizing annealing before welding. In the case of local stabilizing annealing is necessary to ensure both uniform heating and cooling across the length of the weld and adjacent base metal zones for a width equal to two or three widths of a seam, but not more than 200 mm. Manual heating method is invalid. For a more complete removal of residual stresses, the annealing products of stabilized chromium-Nickel steels is performed according to the mode: heating up to 870-900 °C; exposure of 2-3 h, cooling with the furnace to 300 °C (cooling rate of 50-100 °C/h), then by air. The annealing is carried out for products and welded joints of steel, from which the ratio of titanium to carbon 5 or more of niobium to carbon greater than 8. Step processing is to: a) relieve residual stresses and prevent the tendency to intergranular corrosion; b) to prevent the tendency to intergranular corrosion of welded joints of complex configuration with sharp transitions in thickness; C) products with the tendency to intergranular corrosion, remove which other method (annealing or stabilizing annealing) is inappropriate. Step treatment should be carried out according to mode: heating to 1050-1100 °C; the holding time at the heating for hardening to products with a wall thickness up to 10 mm - 30 min, over 10 mm - 20 min + 1 min per 1 mm of maximum thickness; cooling as fast as possible to 870-900°C; holding at 870-900 °C for 2-3 hours; cooling with the furnace to 300 °C (speed of 50-100 °C/h), then by air. To expedite the process, step-by-step treatment is recommended in two in two furnaces heated to different temperatures. When transferring from one furnace to another, the temperature of the products should not be below 900 °C. Speed of processing permitted for products and welded joints of steel, from which the ratio of titanium to carbon 5 or more of niobium to carbon greater than 8. |
