Elevated Temperature Cromgard was not originally developed as a heat resisting steel. However, it was found to have several notable characteristics at elevated temperatures: reasonable mechanical properties; good scaling and oxidation resistance, including resistance to sulphur-bearing atmospheres; negligible embrittlement after extended exposure to temperatures between 842°F and 1022°F; and resistance to many hot gases and fumes generated in industrial processes. Cromgard has proven successful in many hot gas ducting and dust extraction applications, e.g., gases at temperatures of between 572°F and 1112°F in an atmosphere of nitrogen, sulfur dioxide, carbon dioxide and oxygen. After nearly six years of service in this harsh oxidizing environment the steel is providing excellent service.
