ASTM A369 Grade FP92 High-Chromium Steel

ASTM A369 grade FP92 is an alloy steel formulated for primary forming into wrought products. Cited properties are appropriate for the normalized and tempered condition.

It has a fairly low thermal conductivity among wrought alloy steels in the same category. In addition, it has a very high base cost and a very high electrical conductivity.

The graph bars on the material properties cards below compare ASTM A369 grade FP92 to: wrought alloy steels in the same category (top), all iron alloys (middle), and the entire database (bottom). A full bar means this is the highest value in the relevant set. A half-full bar means it's 50% of the highest, and so on.

Alloy Composition

Among alloy steels, the composition of ASTM A369 grade FP92 is notable for including tungsten (W) and zirconium (Zr). Tungsten interacts with other alloying elements to a greater extent than usual, which makes it hard to broadly characterize its effects. Zirconium is used to improve ductility.

Iron (Fe)Fe 85.8 to 89.1
Chromium (Cr)Cr 8.5 to 9.5
Tungsten (W)W 1.5 to 2.0
Molybdenum (Mo)Mo 0.3 to 0.6
Manganese (Mn)Mn 0.3 to 0.6
Silicon (Si)Si 0 to 0.5
Vanadium (V)V 0.15 to 0.25
Nickel (Ni)Ni 0 to 0.4
Carbon (C)C 0.070 to 0.13
Niobium (Nb)Nb 0.040 to 0.090
Nitrogen (N)N 0.030 to 0.070
Phosphorus (P)P 0 to 0.020
Aluminum (Al)Al 0 to 0.020
Sulfur (S)S 0 to 0.010
Titanium (Ti)Ti 0 to 0.010
Zirconium (Zr)Zr 0 to 0.010
Boron (B)B 0.0010 to 0.0060
