Stainless steel, also known as inox, corrosion-resistant steel ( CRES ), and rustless steel, is an alloy of iron that is resistant to rusting and corrosion. It contains iron with chromium and other elements such as molybdenum, carbon, nickel and nitrogen depending on its specific use and cost. Stainless steel's resistance to corrosion results ...
Austenitic stainless steel. Austenitic stainless steel is one of the five classes of stainless steel by crystalline structure (along with ferritic, martensitic, duplex and precipitation hardened [ 1] ). Its primary crystalline structure is austenite ( face-centered cubic) and it prevents steels from being hardenable by heat treatment and makes ...
SAE 904L stainless steel. 904L is an austenitic stainless steel. It is harder than 316L, [ 1] and its molybdenum addition gives it superior resistance to localized attack ( pitting and crevice corrosion) by chlorides and greater resistance reducing acids; in particular, its copper addition gives it useful corrosion resistance to all ...
Not all alloys are suitable; e.g. the free-machining 303 steel contains sulfur, which tends to outgas. Alloys with good weldability under argon arc welding are usually chosen. 304 stainless steel is a common choice of a stainless steel. 304L stainless steel, a low-carbon variant of 304 steel, is used for ultra-high vacuum systems.
Similar to BAg-1, more economical. For ferrous, nonferrous and dissimilar alloys. Free-flowing, for larger gaps, where fillets are desired. For steel, stainless steel, copper, copper alloys, nickel, nickel alloys, and combinations. Light yellow color. Maximum service temperature 204 °C, intermittently 316 °C. 26: 21: 35: 18: Ag 30 Cu 28 Zn 21 ...
The US nickel coin contains 0.04 ounces (1.1 g) of nickel, which at the April 2007 price was worth 6.5 cents, along with 3.75 grams of copper worth about 3 cents, with a total metal value of more than 9 cents. Since the face value of a nickel is 5 cents, this made it an attractive target for melting by people wanting to sell the metals at a profit.
440C (UNS designation S44004) is a martensitic 400 series stainless steel, [ 1] and has the highest carbon content of the 400 stainless steel series. It can be heat treated to reach hardness of 58 to 60 HRC. It can be used to make rolling contact stainless bearings, e.g. ball bearings and roller bearings. It is also used to make knife blades .
For example, a Type 304 stainless steel has a 0.2% proof strength in the region of 280 MPa (41 ksi), a 22%Cr duplex stainless steel a minimum 0.2% proof strength of some 450 MPa (65 ksi) and a superduplex grade a minimum of 550 MPa (80 ksi). [6]
