View Sample Alloy Digest Data Sheet (PDF)Since 1952, Alloy Digest has been the leading reference for materials property data on metals and alloys used throughout the world. Featuring graphs, charts and tables, these sheets give facts and figures on composition or characterization, physical and mechanical properties, heat treatment, and machinability.CLC 18-10Nb is one of the basic grades of stainless steels. It is niobium bearing and, with its low carbon content, ensures better ductility and avoids intergranular corrosion even on welded pieces without water quenching.
