GENERAL PROPERTIES
13-8 stainless alloy (UNS S13800) is a martensitic precipitation-hardening stainless steel that has excellent strength, high hardness, superior toughness, and good corrosion resistance. Compared to other ferrous-base materials alloy 13-8 Stainless Steel offers a high level of useful mechanical properties under severe environmental conditions. Alloy 13-8 Stainless Steel is used in Aerospace components, landing gear, nuclear reactor components, petrochemical industry, injection moulding equipment etc. Alloy 13-8 Stainless Steel in the annealed condition can be strengthened further by relatively low temperature heat treatment.
APPLICATION AND CORROSION RESISTANCE
13-8 PH stainless steel is typically used in the following applications:
Used primarily for parts requiring corrosion resistance, stress-corrosion, and high strength 600°F (316°C), with good ductility and strength in transverse direction for
- Aerospace components
- Injection moulding equipment
- Waterjet cutting equipment
- Petrochemical industries
- Nuclear industries

WELDING
Stainless steel-grade 13-8 can be welded in the solution annealed condition with the usage of 13-8 MO filler material. Inert gas shielded and resistance methods can also be used to cold wok this alloy.
HEAT TREATMENT
Stainless steel-grade 13-8 can be heat treated in the following conditions:
- CONDITION A: Soak at 927°C (1700°F) and cool for 1 h below 16°C (60°F).
- CONDITION RH 950: Treat Condition A material for 2 h at -73°C (-100°F), air warm to room temperature, heat the cold treated material to 510°C (950°F) for 4 h and finally cool the material in air.
- CONDITION H950, H1000, H1050, H1100, H1150: Soak solution treated material for 4 h at specific temperature and then cool the material in air.
- CONDITION H1150M: Soak solution treated material for 2 h at 760°C (1400°F), cool in air, re-heat for 4 h to 620°C (1150°F) and finally cool the material in air.
