HS 6B Supplier and Exporter

Alloy 6B has outstanding resistance to most types of wear. Its wear resistance is inherent and not the result of cold working, heat treating, or any other method. This inherent property reduces the amount of heat treating and post-machining. 6B has outstanding resistance to cavitation erosion. Steam turbine erosion shields from hs-6b material have protected the blades of turbines for years of continuous service. Alloy 446 composition has good impact and thermal shock resistance, resists heat and oxidation, retains high hardness even at red heat (then cooled, recovers full original hardness), and has resistance to a variety of corrosive media. 6B is useful where both wear and corrosion resistance is needed. Ferro Alloys Manufacturers or Alloy 6B should be preheated and maintained at 1000ºF minimum to prevent cracking during welding and then still air-cooled. Fixturing which would chill the weld rapidly should not be used. The low coefficient of friction of alloy 6B allows it to resist seizing and galling; proving useful in areas and applications where lubrication is difficult or impractical. Even under constant erosive conditions, alloy 6B has shown exceptional cavitation erosion resistance. Elevated temperature exposure has little effect on this alloy’s hardness, impact strength, and dimensional stability. Alloy 6B also maintains high hardness at elevated temperatures (approaching 2000°F) and will recover its original hardness upon cooling to room temperature.

Hs-6b material is a cobalt-based alloy with great wear, erosion, and abrasion resistance. The wear resistance of alloy 6B is due to the chemical composition and is not a product of heat treatment or other hardening mechanisms. The low coefficient of friction of alloy 6B allows it to resist seizing and galling; proving useful in areas and applications where lubrication is difficult or impractical.
