Type 304

The attraction of austenitic stainless steels lies in the combination of their mechanical and physical properties and corrosion resistance. However, a major disappointment is their relatively low strength. Over the years, continued efforts have been made to try to improve the strength of conventionally processed austenitic steels without sacrificing other properties. Using nitrogen as an alloying element can very effectively increase the strength of austenitic stainless steels while maintaining a high toughness. Improved resistance to intergranular corrosion and longer creep-to-rupture time1 werealso reported among nitrogen-containing austenitic steels. Though there is little doubt that interstitial nitrogen is responsible for the improved mechanical properties, the strengthening mechanism by nitrogen can not be explained successfully in a “conventional sense”, i.e. despite its smaller atomic size, nitrogen was found to increase the yield strength at 4K more than carbon does by a factor of about 2. One reason for the lack of understanding of nitrogen strengthening mechanism is because of thedifficulty of detecting low atomic number elements as well as possible short range order that may exist between interstitial and substitutional atoms.

Type 316L

Abstract Allegheny Ludlum 316 and 316L are corrosion resistant, molybdenum bearing austenitic stainless steels. Type 316L is the low carbon grade of type 316 offering decreased carbide precipitation. The MINIMISER form is an improved machinability version with a change in the sulfur composition, still maintaining the dual certification capability of the base type 316/316L grades. Like standard 316 and 316L stainless steels, MINIMISER 316/316L is more resistant to acids and pitting/crevice corrosion than the molybdenum-free 18-8 type stainless steels. This datasheet provides information on composition, physical properties, microstructure, and elasticity. It also includes information on corrosion resistance as well as forming, heat treating, and joining. Filing Code: SS-776. Producer or source: Allegheny Ludlum Corporation.

Abstract UNILOY 303 and 303Se are improved machinability grades of 18-8 general purpose austenitic stainless steels. Machinability is respectively improved by additions of sulfur or selenium. Whereas standard 18-8 stainless steel had a machinability rating about 40-50% that of AISI B1112 free-machining carbon steel, these steels have a rating of about 70% that of AISI B1112. UNILOY 303Se is preferred over UNILOY 303 where machined finish and good cold formability and corrosion resistance are desired. 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-512. Producer or source: Cytemp Cyclops.
