XD15NW® : New applications to the Bearings Market
Share
The XD15NW® has been developed as a high corrosion and wear resistant grade, for markets where traditional high Cr stainless steels like the 440C are not hard enough to meet our customers’ requirements.
The XD15NW® grade has been used for several years in the bearings industry, not only in aerospace, but also for food processing, paper industry, aerospace…
The most recent applications relate to:
– Nuts and bolts for the BOEING 787 electric brakes (through-hardened or surfaceinduction hardened),
– Bearings used in highly corrosive environments,
– Bearings for competition bicycles,
– Large ball-screws for defense applications.
The XD15NW® martensitic stainless steel offers outstanding corrosion and wear resistance.
The XD15NW therefore offers several advantages compared to the 440C :
– Improved corrosion resistance,
– Increased fatigue strength,
– Higher ductility and less prone to quench cracking,
– Better polishability.
The XD15NW® is an Aubert & Duval proprietary patented grade.
