Introduction:
This is the world's most popular stainless steel.
It has an economic balance of alloying elements to
ensure its good cold formability, corrosion resistance,
toughness and good mechanical properties with no excessive
work-hardening. It performs well in unpolluted atmospheres
but can tarnish or lightly rust in damp atmospheres
around some industrial and coastal/marine locations.
The steel has been used extensively for potable water
tubing and in fresh feedwater systems where precautions
are taken to avoid crevice attack under deposits,
etc. Performance in aerated seawater is not good without
adequate galvanic or cathodic protection. Its PREN
is low: 18-23.
Stability and toughness at cryogenic temperatures
is high. Readily weldable, but a low carbon grade
S30403 or similar is preferred
for better corrosion resistance of weldments.
Metallurgy:
The overall composition of the S304xx type alloys
balance the ferrite-forming elements (Cr,Mo,Si) with
sufficient Ni,Mn,C and N to promote stable austenite
and prevent martensite formation.
