Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the difference between Stellite 12 and Stellite 20?
Stellite 20 contains higher carbon and tungsten content than Stellite 12, resulting in superior hardness and wear resistance. Stellite 12 offers better machinability and impact resistance. Our engineers can help determine which alloy best suits your application based on operating temperature, wear conditions, and mechanical stress requirements.
Can you provide material certifications?
Yes. Every shipment includes comprehensive material test reports (MTR) with complete chemical composition analysis, mechanical property testing results, heat treatment records, and compliance certifications for relevant international standards.
What forms are available for Stellite 12/20?
We supply Stellite 12 and Stellite 20 in multiple product forms including round bars, flat bars, plates, sheets, wire, welding rods, and custom forgings. Custom dimensions and specifications are available to meet your exact requirements.
What is the typical lead time for orders?
Lead times vary based on product form, quantity, and specifications. Standard materials from our inventory typically ship within 7-14 days. Custom manufacturing orders require 4-8 weeks depending on complexity. Contact us for specific timeline estimates for your project.
Do you offer technical support for material selection?
Absolutely. Our metallurgical engineers provide expert consultation on material selection, application engineering, welding procedures, and performance optimization. We analyze your operating conditions, performance requirements, and budget to recommend the optimal high-temp Stellite solution.
How do Stellite alloys compare to nickel-based superalloys?
Stellite cobalt-based alloys generally offer superior wear and corrosion resistance compared to nickel superalloys, particularly in sulfidizing and oxidizing environments. However, nickel alloys may provide better high-temperature strength in some applications. Our team can provide detailed comparative analysis for your specific requirements.
