3CR12 was developed in the 1970's by Columbus Stainless. It is now recognised as the world's most specified 12% chromium utility stainless steel.
It is price competitive, corrosion resistant, weldable, utility chromium steel with particular advantages in wet abrasive applications. Unlike other ferritics it can be welded in thicknesses of up to 30mm.
3CR12 meets the European standard 1.4003, included in spec EN 10088. It also conforms to ASTM A240-UNS-S41003. |
