Stellite 19

Stellite 19

Stellite 19 (UNS R30019) is a low-carbon cobalt-based alloy renowned for its excellent overall wear resistance, good high-temperature hardness, and thermal shock resistance. Through rational composition design (approximately 0.8-1.2% carbon, 28-32% chromium, 7-9% tungsten), the alloy's hardness (HRC 38-46) and wear resistance lie between the general-purpose Stellite 6 and high-carbon Stellite 12 grades. Stellite 19 is particularly suitable for applications subjected to both abrasive wear and moderate impact, while also offering good thermal fatigue and oxidation resistance. It is widely used in valve sealing faces, hot shear blades, extruder screws, pump liners, and aerospace high-temperature components.

High-Temperature Oxidation Resistance

Excellent Hardness and Wear Resistance

Stellite 19 imparts good resistance to abrasive and adhesive wear to the alloy through the formation of uniformly distributed M₇C₃-type carbides. Typical hardness in as-cast or weld-deposited conditions is HRC 38-46 (approximately HV 350-450). Its wear resistance exceeds that of Stellite 6, and its toughness is higher than that of high-carbon grades, making it suitable for applications where moderate wear and moderate impact coexist.

High-Temperature Corrosion Resistance

Good High-Temperature Hardness and Oxidation Resistance

Stellite 19 retains approximately 30 HRC hardness at 600°C, about 23 HRC at 760°C (1400°F), and about 18 HRC at 870°C (1600°F). The high chromium content promotes the formation of a dense Cr₂O₃ oxide film on the surface. After exposure to air at 800°C for 1000 hours, the oxidation weight gain is less than 1 mg/cm². Its oxidation resistance is superior to most iron-based wear-resistant materials, making it suitable for high-temperature cyclic applications such as hot shearing and hot extrusion.

High Stability

Good Corrosion Resistance

With approximately 30% chromium content, Stellite 19 exhibits good corrosion resistance in oxidizing acids (e.g., nitric acid), moderately concentrated non-oxidizing acids (e.g., ≤50% sulfuric acid), and alkaline solutions. In seawater and chloride environments, it primarily shows pitting corrosion rather than uniform corrosion, and maintains stable corrosion resistance in high-temperature atmospheres containing sulfur and chlorine.

Good Processability

Good Machinability and Weldability

Stellite 19 offers better weldability and machinability than medium-to-high carbon grades. It can be deposited using PTA, TIG, and oxy-acetylene welding methods. Preheating to 300-450°C and slow cooling after welding are recommended to reduce the risk of hot cracking. Limited machining can be performed in annealed condition, with final finishing recommended using grinding or electrical discharge machining (EDM).

Antioxidant Performance:

In high-temperature oxidation environments, Stellite 19 forms a dense Cr₂O₃ oxide film on its surface. After exposure to air at 800°C for 1000 hours, the oxidation weight gain is less than 1 mg/cm², demonstrating better antioxidant properties than most iron-based heat-resistant steels.

Long-Term Thermal Stability:

When in service at temperatures above 600°C for extended periods, the alloy exhibits excellent microstructural stability with no significant phase transformation or softening. The allotropic transformation of the cobalt matrix and solid-solution strengthening from tungsten collectively ensure its long service life under high-temperature conditions.

Applicable Media:

1. Seawater, saltwater (excellent pitting corrosion resistance)

2. Oxidizing acids: Nitric acid (superior corrosion resistance at room temperature)

3. Non-oxidizing acids: Sulfuric acid (concentration ≤50%), hydrochloric acid (concentration ≤30%) (corrosion rate typically <0.1 mm/a)

4. Alkaline solutions: Sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide (resistant to all concentrations)

5. Organic acids: Acetic acid, formic acid, etc.

6. High-temperature oxidizing atmospheres, sulfur/chlorine-containing gases (forms a protective Cr₂O₃ film on the surface)

Note: Stellite 19 has limited corrosion resistance in strongly reducing acids (e.g., concentrated hot hydrochloric acid) and fluorine-containing media. For high-stress friction conditions, it is recommended to use in conjunction with lubricating media.
