Brazeable ferritic stainless steel, method of using same and article formed therefrom.

摘要

A stabilized ferritic stainless steel is wettable by brazing materials used at temperatures of from 1093 DEG C to 1149 DEG C (2000 DEG F to 2100 DEG F). The steel consists essentially of, by weight, 10.5% to 13.5% chromium, up to 0.1 carbon, up to 0.05% nitrogen, up to 0.12% titanium and at least one other stabilizing element selected from niobium and tantalum in an amount in accordance with the relationship: <CHEM> The invention includes a method of using the steel which comprises brazing the steel, preferably with copper, and a brazed article formed from the steel.
