Maximum Operating Temperature of AMPCO® 18
Temperature Limits for Continuous Cast and Wrought Conditions
AMPCO® 18 will maintain its mechanical properties at the following maximum continuous operating temperatures:
- Continuous cast: 600°F (approximately 315°C)
- Wrought (forged or extruded): 650°F (approximately 343°C)
The production method therefore has a direct bearing on the thermal limit of the material and should be taken into account when specifying AMPCO® 18 for elevated temperature applications.
