YST Alloy (Corrosion and wear resistant special stainless steel casting)
YOKOTA's special stainless steel casting, YST series, with enhanced pitting
and crevice corrosion resistance as well as wear resistance, has been favorably
received as a standardized material suitable for pumps and valves in equipment
for anti-pollution treatment, seawater treatment, and chemical processing
among others.
In particular, this YST Alloy has been adopted as the pump material for
wet-type smoke discharging desulfurizers under a variety of severely corrosive
and abrasive conditions, proving its excellent durability and reliability
even under severe conditions.
Moreover, YOKOTA's duplex stainless steel YST130N, not only shows outstanding seawater resistance, but also is applicable
to many different types of liquid as an excellent corrosion and wear resistant
material.

Characteristics of YST Alloy
Compared with JIS materials such as SCS13, SCS14, and Carpenter 20 (SCS23),
a widely used corrosion resistant material, YST Alloy has the following
advantages:
|
|
Excellent corrosion resistance, and especially effective against local
corrosion due to chloric ion conditions.
|
|
Improved wear resistance due to improved hardness, resulting in both corrosion
resistance and wear resistance.
|
|
Excellent resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion in seawater.
|
|
Easily welded by covered arc or TIG welding without preheating or residual
heating.

As Fig.1 and 2 show, YST Alloy has excellent local corrosion resistance
especially to liquids containing chloric ion, in addition to all-surface
corrosion resistance. Fig.3 shows that YST Alloy also has excellent wear
resistance, thus being suitable for various kinds of liquid.
