Overview
CF3 austenitic alloy is a low carbon (.03% maximum) modification of CF8 / MTEK 304. This improved alloy retains the good strength and ductility of CF8 / MTEK 304 and exhibits better general corrosion resistance. It’s generally specified where welding is to be performed without subsequent heat treatment as in large, welded assemblies or where field welding is required.
Typical Uses
Pump and valve parts.
