Abstrakt: Abstract: MIDHANI has been producing special stainless steels for different sectors. Production of these steels has posed challenges with respect to control over chemical composition, designing heat treatment parameters to meet the desired properties. The most challenging grades have been SS304L, 13-8 PH and 9Cr1Mo steels to name a few. The melting equipments were selected with utmost care and processing was done to meet the specified properties. In case of 304L grade in order to meet corrosion resistance requirements, elements like Silicon, Carbon and Sulphur were required to be controlled in very low limits. Production of 13-8 PH steels demanded that a combination of high strength and toughness are achieved. This paper highlights MIDHANI’s experience in producing these alloys and other special stainless steels.
