XM-32 Product Description

Overview

XM-32 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.

3. Mechanical Properties

Hardened-and-tempered condition, per AMS 5719 / ASTM A565 (XM-32).

Condition Property Value
Hardened & tempered Tensile strength (UTS) ≥930 MPa (135 ksi)
Hardened & tempered 0.2% yield strength ≥760 MPa (110 ksi)
Hardened & tempered Elongation at break ≥15 %
Hardened & tempered Reduction of area ≥45 %
Hardened & tempered Impact energy (Charpy V, RT) ≥41 J

Confirm against the mill test report. Properties depend on the tempering temperature selected for the service condition.

4. Corrosion Resistance

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.

5. Heat Treatment

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.

6. Weldability and Joining

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.

7. Machinability and Fabrication

Machining Guidelines

Parameter Recommendation
Preferred condition Annealed for machining, then harden and temper
Machinability Moderate; carbide tooling for hardened material
Coolant Ample flood coolant

Forming Processes

Process Notes
Cold forming Limited — high strength
Hot forming ~1150–900 °C; harden and temper afterward
