Delta Ferrite Content Testing (FN)
Delta ferrite content testing is a key stage in the analysis of steels and materials that require specific mechanical properties and corrosion resistance. Our company specializes in performing effective tests, providing clients with the highest quality analyses and reliable results. Thanks to advanced measuring techniques, we ensure a comprehensive assessment of ferrite content and deliver trustworthy information essential for the effective design and production of steel.
What Is Ferrite?
Ferrite is one of the main crystal structures of iron, characterized by its solubility of carbon. In steels, ferrite occurs as alpha-iron crystals and affects many important properties of the material. In particular, delta ferrite is a form of ferrite found in certain stainless steels, valued for their corrosion resistance and strength under various environmental conditions.
Why Is Determining Delta Ferrite Content Important?
Knowing the delta ferrite content in stainless steels is extremely important for designers and manufacturers because it allows them to adjust the chemical composition and heat treatment processes to achieve optimal material properties. Properly selected proportions of delta ferrite affect strength, corrosion resistance, and the ability to perform under extreme conditions.
