In extreme environments, where high temperatures push materials to their limits, heat-resistant metals play a crucial role. These materials are essential for applications that must withstand extreme heat.
Heat-resistant steel
The basis for long-lasting tools
These steels stay cool, even when things get really hot.
Properties of heat-resistant steel
High heat resistance
Maintains strength and creep resistance at high temperatures.
Good oxidation resistance
Resistant to scaling and corrosion at high temperatures.
High creep rupture strength
Resistant to deformation under constant load at high temperatures.
Good weldability
A major advantage when manufacturing and repairing components.
Areas of application
Heat-resistant metals such as refractory steel and high-temperature steel are essential for industries exposed to extreme heat. Heat-resistant material is used in aerospace (turbine blades), power generation (gas turbines), chemicals (reactors), metallurgy (furnace components) and waste incineration (combustion chamber linings).
