GE B50A125 - General Electric Specification for 422 Stainless Steel
GE B50A125 is a GE specification covering the chemical composition, heat treatment, and mechanical properties of 422 Stainless Steel. This is a hardenable martensitic stainless steel for long-life service at high temperature, up to 1200°F (649°C). Fighter Jet Metals provides 422 Stainless Steel meeting the requirements of GE B50A125 specification, which is necessary for various industries such as the aerospace and power industries, particularly for use in turbines.
Material Overview
The 422 stainless steel grade used for the GE B50A125 has shown a good combination of resistance to high temperatures, high mechanical properties, and resistance to corrosion. In the 422 grade, chromium, molybdenum, tungsten, and vanadium provide increased creep properties and oxidation resistance after exposure to high temperatures for a long time. This steel remains magnetic in all conditions and can be heat-treated for increased tensile and yield strengths.
