1.4765 | X8CrAl25-5 defective heatsealing band

Numeric designation1.4765 | UNS S44600 | AISI 446
Chemical designationX8CrAl25-5
Statedefective heatsealing band
EtchingV2A-Beize @ 20°C

The micrographs show the “heatsealing band alloy” after several months of use at approx. 1050 °C. A dense, closed protective layer of aluminum oxide has formed on the surface.

The hardness is 218 +- 6 HV0.5.

The SEM images show a cleavage fracture surface of the coarse-grained structure.
