Alleima® 7C27Mo2 is a martensitic stainless chromium steel alloyed with molybdenum, supplied in strip form. It is mainly supplied in hardened and tempered condition, characterized by:
- Very high corrosion resistance
- High toughness
- Excellent fatigue strength properties.
Alleima® 7C27Mo2 can also be supplied in soft condition, annealed or cold rolled for good formability.
Standards
- ASTM: F899-23
- UNS: S42026
- ISO: 16061-2015
Chemical composition (nominal)
| C | Si | Mn | P | S | Cr | Mo |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0.38 | 0.4 | 0.6 | ≤0.025 | ≤0.010 | 13.5 | 1.0 |
Applications
Alleima® 7C27Mo2 is an excellent choice for bone saws and other medical edge applications.
Forms of supply
The strip can be supplied either in coils or as straightened lengths of 0.5 - 4.0 meter (1.6 - 13.1 feet). The coil weight is max 5 kg/mm (280 lb/in.) of strip width.
Hardening and tempering of the strip steel is necessary to achieve the correct finish and to meet the properties required by the end user.
| Thickness | Width | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| mm (in.) | mm (in.) | ||
| min. | max. | min. | max. |
| 0.10 (0.0039) | 2.5 (0.098) | 5 (0.197) | 350 (14) |
Other sizes can be supplied to meet specific requirements.
Tolerances
The thickness and width tolerances are +/- tolerances to the nominal size. The normal tolerance classes for most of our strip products are T2 and B1. Tighter tolerances as well as other tolerance limits can be offered upon request.
Heat treatment
Quench
As rapid as possible, for optimal result 600°C (1110°F) should
be reached within 2 minutes or less.
Temperature should be equalized at 850°C (1560°F) for 30
minutes to avoid unnecessary temperature variations.
Austenitizing
Batch furnace. 30 minutes in furnace.
Quench
As rapid as possible, for optimal result 600°C (1110°F) should
be reached within 2 minutes or less.
Mechanical properties
| As-delivered | Tensile strength Rm | Hardness | |
