13-8 Stainless Steel Open-Die Forgings

13-8 stainless steel is a high-strength, corrosion-resistant alloy known for its excellent toughness, good mechanical properties at high temperatures, and suitability for demanding applications. At Jinan Hejess, we specialize in open-die forging metal parts, including stainless steel 13-8. Using our in-house machine shop, testing capabilities, and quality-controlled heat-treating processes, we provide customers with high-quality stainless steel forgings for a wide range of industrial applications.

We can forge stainless steel parts in sizes up to 120" in length, from 3.5" to 18" in diameter/thickness, and weighing up to 4,000 lbs. With the industry's fastest turnaround times, our stainless steel forging service is ideal for high or low-volume production, as well as prototyping. We also offer numerous milling and rough-turning capabilities to manufacture your stainless steel 13-8 components at competitive costs.

Properties & Characteristics of Stainless Steel Grade 13-8

Stainless steel grade 13-8 is a martensitic precipitation age-hardening material with many useful characteristics. The material's closely controlled chemical composition and microstructure give it a higher level of functional mechanical properties under severe environmental conditions than other ferrous metals. Advantages of alloy 13-8 steel include:

• High strength

• High hardness

• High fatigue strength

• Good galling and stress corrosion resistance

• Exceptional oxidation resistance at temperatures up to 1,100°F (593°C)

• Excellent corrosion resistance (comparable to chromium-nickel grades)
