CF8 / CF8M Stainless Steel

CF8 / CF8M Stainless Steel investment castings for industrial applications.

Austenitic stainless steel CF8 and CF8M investment castings

CF8 / CF8M Stainless Steel

CF8 (equivalent to 304) and CF8M (equivalent to 316) are the most commonly specified austenitic stainless steel casting grades. CF8M contains 2-3% molybdenum, which provides superior resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion in chloride environments.

  • Excellent general corrosion resistance
  • Good weldability without preheating
  • Operating temperature: -196°C to 425°C
  • Non-magnetic in solution-annealed condition
  • FDA compliant for food contact
