Crevice Factor 2

[CE8MN]

Our customer wants duplex castings with PREn >=40 and "Crevice Factor" >35. We regularly produce alloy CE8MN with PREn >=40, but I have not heard of or used a "Crevice Factor". Can anyone point me to information on how to calculate or test for this property?

Thanks
CE8MN
