Ferritic stainless steel is built from microstructures called ferrite, compared with other stainless steels, it has a higher chromium content, some ferritic stainless steels contain as much as 27 percent chromium, giving it greater corrosion resistance, hardness, and glossiness when polished. In addition, Ferritic stainless steels contain very little if any nickel, and their low carbon content. Depending on the alloy, ferritic stainless steels exhibit several beneficial properties.
Corrosion Resistance: Corrosive environments and tensile stress can cause steel to degrade, resulting in stress corrosion cracking (SCC). Compared to austenitic stainless steel, ferritic stainless steel resist SCC much better, making them suitable for applications and in environments that contain chlorides.
Ductility And Formability: Ferritic stainless steel contains very little carbon, making it more brittle and ductile. At the same time, the low carbon content additionally means they have superior formability properties, can be easily shaped without weakening, and with little potential for cracking or necking.
Low Thermal Expansion: Ferritic stainless steel has a low coefficient of thermal expansion, so it expand less as they’re heated. Besides, the metal retains a fixed dimension more easily, thus these stainless steels work well in high temperatures.
High Thermal Conductivity: Ferritic stainless steel has excellent thermal conductivity properties, allowing heat to move efficiently through them, usually used in furnaces, boiler heat exchangers, and in applications that involve heat transfer.
Resistance To Oxidation: Ferritic stainless steel offers excellent oxidation resistance, especially at higher temperatures. This property is due to chromium-oxide film forming on the metal’s surface. Oxidation resistance can be further improved by utilizing aluminum and/or silicon during fabrication.
