BÖHLER T671SB

BÖHLER T671SB is a corrosion-resistant steel for aerospace applications in the form of bars, wire, and forgings with diameters/thicknesses up to 305 mm in the solution-annealed condition, as well as pre-forging stock of any size.

It is a martensitic, precipitation-hardenable chromium-nickel-copper-molybdenum steel with high strength and toughness.

BÖHLER T671 SB is primarily suitable for parts requiring corrosion resistance close to that of Cr-Ni 18-8 steels, exceeding the strength of martensitic 12% Cr steels, and can be used up to a service temperature of 371 °C. This steel can be processed in the solution-annealed condition and, through precipitation treatment, achieves tensile strengths of up to 1241 MPa with good transverse ductility and transverse strength at large cross-sectional dimensions.

Certain processing methods and operating conditions can cause stress corrosion cracking in these products.
