CRUCIBLE 316 PLUS
Abstract CRUCIBLE 316 PLUS is a non-hardenable austenitic chromium-nickel steel with superior corrosion and heat resisting qualities. Better machinability than that of standard AISI Type 316 stainless is obtained by the use of balanced chemistry and special manufacturing techniques. This grade is non-magnetic in the annealed condition but slightly magnetic when cold worked. Typical applications are screw machine products and all machined parts requiring good corrosion resistance or non-magnetic properties. This datasheet provides information on composition, physical properties, hardness, elasticity, and tensile properties as well as fracture toughness. It also includes information on corrosion resistance as well as forming, heat treating, machining, and joining. Filing Code: SS-378.
