ACI-ASTM CC50 (J92615) Cast Stainless Steel

ACI-ASTM CC50 steel is a ferritic stainless steel formulated for casting. Cited properties are appropriate for the heat treated (HT) condition. CC50 is the designation in both the ACI and ASTM systems for this material. J92615 is the UNS number.

The graph bars on the material properties cards below compare ACI-ASTM CC50 steel to: cast ferritic stainless steels (top), all iron alloys (middle), and the entire database (bottom). A full bar means this is the highest value in the relevant set. A half-full bar means it's 50% of the highest, and so on.

Alloy Composition

Among cast stainless steels, the composition of ACI-ASTM CC50 steel is notable for containing a comparatively high amount of chromium (Cr). Chromium is the defining alloying element of stainless steel. Higher chromium content imparts additional corrosion resistance.

Iron (Fe)Fe 62.9 to 74
Chromium (Cr)Cr 26 to 30
Nickel (Ni)Ni 0 to 4.0
Silicon (Si)Si 0 to 1.5
Manganese (Mn)Mn 0 to 1.0
Carbon (C)C 0 to 0.5
Phosphorus (P)P 0 to 0.040
Sulfur (S)S 0 to 0.040
