S30940 (309Nb)

Printer Friendly Page
Introduction:

Compared with the 18Cr9-10Ni grades which maintain strength and scaling resistance up to 700-800°, this steel has scaling resistance up about 1000°C in air. It is part of the family of 23Cr12Ni stainless steels which differ in their carbon content and the stabilization of it with niobium:

 S30900 309
X 15 CrNi 23 12
0.20%C max
 S30908 309S
X 6 CrNi 22 12
0.08%C max
 S30940 309Nb
-
0.08%C max
 
Nb=10xC to 1.1% 

This higher carbon grade exhibits slightly higher creep and stress rupture strength at 700-900°C but ASME II does not differentiate this in its design stresses. Performance in corrodents and under impact at ambient temperatures may be influenced by various phases that may precipitate during prolonged high temperature exposures.
