13-8 Mo is a precipitation hardening martensitic stainless steel offering excellent fracture toughness and transverse mechanical properties, coupled with the resistance to stress-corrosion cracking and high-strength characteristics common to the family of precipitation hardening steels. A wide range of mechanical properties can be realized by selecting various single cycle low temperature aging treatments. The alloy is double vacuum remelted (VIM-VAR: vacuum induction melted followed by vacuum arc remelting) to consistently assure low gas content, improved homogeneity and superior cleanliness.
