Application
C61300: Often found in architectural and marine hardware due to its corrosion resistance.
C61400: Utilized in heavy-duty mechanical products, such as gears and high-strength fasteners, because of its high wear resistance.
C61900: Chosen for parts that demand high toughness and resistance to wear and corrosion, like pump parts and bearings in industrial settings.
C62300: Common in aerospace applications for non-sparking safety tools and landing gear parts.
C62400: Used in manufacturing high-strength welded structures, such as shipbuilding and heavy-duty equipment.
C63000: Applied in aircraft, marine, and heavy equipment for parts like bushings and bearings due to its toughness and strength.
C63020: Suited for components that require extra strength and corrosion resistance under stress, such as high-strength bushings.
C63200: Ideal for marine environments, it is found in valve and pump components due to its corrosion resistance and anti-galling properties.
C64200: Selected for its strength and corrosion resistance, applicable in marine hardware and chemical processing equipment.
C64210: Similar to C64200, but often used when a slightly different combination of mechanical properties is needed.
