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.ABEX HC-250 comprises a family of heat-treatable, high-chromium iron casting alloys specially developed to offer superior abrasion resistance where other materials have failed. The microstructure of HC-250 consists of an iron and chromium-rich mixture of martensite and austenite containing very hard, discrete, needle-like particles of chromium carbide. This unique combination of constituents gives HC-250 its outstanding abrasion resistance, corrosion resistance, good rupture life and oxidation resistance at high temperature.
