S64152 is a 12% chromium martensitic stainless steel alloyed with nickel, molybdenum and vanadium for high strength and toughness at elevated temperature. This datasheet presents the material within the American (ASTM / AMS / UNS) standard system.
With about 12% chromium plus nickel, molybdenum and vanadium, Jethete M152 is a high-strength creep-resistant martensitic stainless steel developed for aero-engine and turbine service. Compared with the plain 12Cr martensitic and the 422-type grades, the higher nickel content gives improved toughness and hardenability, while the molybdenum and vanadium provide temper resistance and creep strength. It is hardened by quenching and tempering, is usually electro-slag remelted (ESR) for cleanliness, and offers a strong combination of strength, toughness and fatigue resistance at elevated temperature.
Typical applications include aero-engine compressor blades and discs, steam- and gas-turbine blades, shafts and rotor components, high-temperature bolting, and highly stressed fasteners.

Confirm against the mill test report. Properties depend on the tempering temperature selected for the service condition.
| Environment | Performance | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| High-temperature oxidation | Good | Suited to elevated-temperature service |
| Steam | Good | Common in steam-turbine service |
| Atmospheric / general | Moderate | Better than low-alloy steels; below austenitic |
| Mild acids | Limited | Martensitic 12Cr level |
| Chloride pitting | Limited | Not for aggressive chloride service |
Corrosion and oxidation resistance is typical of 12% chromium martensitic steels — adequate for steam and elevated-temperature service but below the austenitic stainless grades.
A martensitic grade; hardened by quenching and tempering.
Solution Treatment (Austenitise + Quench) Austenitise at approximately 980–1050 °C and oil or air quench to form martensite.
Temper Temper at approximately 400–700 °C depending on the strength and toughness required; a double temper is often used. An anneal (~700 °C, 4 h, air cool) is used for the soft, machinable condition.
Weldable with care; the martensitic structure requires preheat (~250–350 °C), interpass control and post-weld heat treatment to avoid hard, crack-sensitive welds.
| Welding Process | Applicability | Filler / Consumable |
|---|---|---|
| GTAW / TIG | Acceptable (with PWHT) | Matching M152-type filler |
| GMAW / MIG | Acceptable (with PWHT) | Matching filler |
| EBW / laser | Good | Autogenous or matching filler |
Preheat, interpass control and post-weld heat treatment are required to develop properties and avoid cracking.
Machining Guidelines
