Introduction:
This is one of the family of 17%Cr 12-13%Ni steels
containing between 2 and 3% Mo (S316xx series). This
is the standard grade used where specific attributes
of other members of the family are not necessary -
eg. no likelihood of IGC caused by welding.
After 18Cr10Ni (304xx) type steels, these 17Cr12NiMo
(316xx) grades are the most widely used austenitics.
In the damp industrial or coastal atmospheres of Europe,
they perform better than 18Cr10Ni (304xx) and ferritic
grades. In low temperature seawater they offer limited
resistance to pitting but are susceptible to crevice
attack (mean
PREN about 25-27). Their short and long-time properties
at elevated temperatures are also superior to those
of comparable 18Cr10Ni grades.
Metallurgy:
Conditions where the steels are not quickly
taken through the temperature range 900-500°C
(eg. slow cooling, heat-treatment, service exposure,
high heat input welding ) can allow precipitation
of chromium carbides and sometimes embrittling sigma
formation.
Where sensitization to intergranular corrosion around
these carbides is unacceptable, consideration should
be given to the low carbon (0.03%C max) grades and
to those stabilized with either Ti or Nb.
