I'm sure my time at Benteler gave me a lot of info & it wasn't that long ago, all those materials are still in current use. What is your problem Demon??!!!
Low carbon steels have an oxidation resistance of around 500>800 deg F,ferritic s/steels run 1500>1700 deg F, austenitics run from 1500>2000 deg F...what else would you like to know about the construction and material in the stoc exhaust manifold...all the info is from the company that made them, Benteler. Any info you want on stainless steels re: elongation(%), yield strength @ 1600 deg F(in psi), thermanal expansion rate, benifits etc , just ask away!..my data is from Armco Adavanced Materials, Allegheny Ludlum Steel Co,T he American Iron & Steel Institute. FWIW!
For the 'masses'...attached! Normal carbon steel are crap for modern engines with high feed gas temps and cats....lets add exhaust manifolds, hydroforming, stainless steels etc to the MTX debate at SZ 06...eh!
