Introduction:
Stainless steels not only resist many corrodents near
ambient temperatures, but are successfully used at
elevated temperatures for their relatively high strength
and their ability to resist scaling and attack from
air and other high temperature media.
This grade has an intentionally controlled carbon
content of 0.04-0.10% which is the converse of the
low carbon grades (UNS S30403;
X2 CrNi 18 10) preferred
for welded components used in corrodents at near-ambient
temperatures. The extra carbon increases creep and
stress-rupture strength at 550-700°C. Prolonged
exposure of unstabilized stainless steels above 400°C
may reduce their corrosion-resistance. Such steels
are also designated X 7 CrNi 18 9 (ISO) and X 6 CrNi
18 11 (DIN).
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.
Increasing the carbon content produces precipitates
which reduce tendency of the steel to creep at high
temperatures.
