13Cr and F6NM Cast or forged
13Cr and F6NM Cast or forged
(OP)
Can anybody halp me with regard to the manufacturing process of the above 2 materials 13Cr(S42000) and F6NM(ASTM 182/ UNS S42400) .
I understand that the 2 materials are similar although F6NM has the addition of Nickel and Molybdenum.
Are these materials cast or forged or can they be both dependant on size of billets required?
Kindest regards
ST

But, to answer the original question, yes, these materials can be either cast of forged, although the material specification (and nomenclature) is usually specific to the manufacturing method. That is, F6NM and CA6NM are essentially the same material, but one is forged and the other is cast. They might have slightly different chemical composition ranges due to the different manufacturing methods, but they are basically the same.
