Type 301
High Tensile Stainless Sheets
UNS S30100
This is a 17-7 grade of chromiumnickel stainless steel, manufactured by the
electric-furnace process. Sufficient discard is taken from each ingot to insure sound
steel required to meet the exacting requirements of the aircraft industry. Type 301
is not hardenable by heat treatment, and the high tensile properties of the sheets are
the result of cold working.

are primary requirements. These grades are widely accepted in such industries as
dairy, beverage, and other food products where the highest degree of sanitation and
cleanliness is of prime importance. Parts for handling acetic, nitric, and citric acids,
organic and inorganic chemicals, dyestuffs, crude and refined oils, etc., are fabricated from this material. Because of its lack of magnetism it is highly desirable for
instruments. It is also widely used for architectural trim. Type 304 sheets are used
in aircraft applications where corrosion resistance is required, but where gas or arc
welding and elevated temperatures are not involved. Type 304L, as noted above,
finds particular use in applications requiring welding.
CORROSION RESISTANCE Types 304 and 304L show good resistance to corrosion. They are highly resistant to strong oxidizing acids, such as nitric acid, and
resist attack by a wide variety of organic and inorganic chemicals. Maximum corrosion resistance is obtained in the annealed condition. Intergranular corrosion may
occur when material is heated within or cooled through the range of 800 to 1500F.

SPECIFICATIONS The following specifications are generally applicable:
AMS 5640, ASTM A 314, ASTM A 320, ASTM A 582
APPLICATIONS Used almost exclusively for parts requiring machining, grinding,
or polishing where good corrosion resistance is also required, Its non-seizing and
non-galling properties make it ideal for moving parts. Being an austenitic steel,
it is useful where low magnetic permeability is desired.
CORROSION RESISTANCE Because of the elements which are added to
improve machinability, Type 303 has slightly less general corrosion resistance
than the regular chromium-nickel grades such as Type 304. Maximum corrosion
resistance is obtained in the annealed condition.
RESISTANCE TO SCALING This grade has excellent scale resistance at
temperatures up to 1600F in continuous service. Like other chromium-nickel
grades, it has a high coefficient of expansion which should be considered in
designing.

Types 316 and 317 are 18-8 chromium-nickel stainless steels modified by the addition of molybdenum, which greatly increases the corrosion resistance as well as the
mechanical properties at elevated temperatures. These grades are non-magnetic in
the annealed condition and not hardenable by heat treatment. Since they have good
cold forming and drawing properties, these grades are outstanding stainless steels
suitable for a large number of applications. Manufactured by the electric-furnace
process, these grades meet the exacting standards of the aircraft industry. Bars and
Plates are available not only in the regular Type 316 analysis, but also in an extra low
carbon analysis known as Type 316L. The advantage of the reduced carbon content
is that it precludes any harmful precipitation in the 800-1500F range, such as might
otherwise occur in welding heavier sections. Types 317 and 317L are available in
plate and with increased chromium, nickel, and molybdenum contents can be used
in even more severe corrosive and high temperature applications.

where parts are subjected to the corrosive effects of salts and reducing acids.
Also used in the manufacture of pharmaceuticals in order to avoid excessive
metallic contamination. Because Type 316 possesses the highest creep and
tensile strength at elevated temperatures than any of the more commonly used
stainless steels, it finds extensive use where the combination of high strength
and good corrosion resistance at elevated temperatures is required. In aircraft
applications, Type 316 is used for parts requiring good corrosion resistance and
low magnetic permeability. Types 317 and 317L, with higher alloy content, would
be suitable for the more severe corrosion applications.

and general corrosive conditions than any of the other standard stainless steels.
They have good resistance to the corrosive effects of sulphates, phosphates, and
other salts as well as reducing acids such as sulphuric, sulphurous, and phosphoric.
These grades are less susceptible to pitting in applications where acetic acid
vapors or solutions of chlorides, bromides, or iodides are encountered. When
heated to within the temperature range of 800-1500F, or when slowly cooled
through this range, these grades are subject to intergranular corrosion. If the
application requires this, then the low carbon version, Types 316L and 317L,
should be used.

Type 347 is 18-8 chromium-nickel stainless steel modified by the addition of
columbium and tantalum to overcome the dangers of intergranular corrosion common
to other austenitic stainless steels during or after exposure to temperatures of 800
to 1500F. It is non-magnetic in the annealed condition and not hardenable by heat
treatment. This is an electric-furnace product and meets the exacting requirements of
the aircraft industry.

properties and involving corrosive conditions that are not too severe, such as valve
parts, cutlery, food industry machine parts, screws, bolts, pump rods and pistons,
etc. In the annealed condition, it may be drawn or formed. In the aircraft industry,
Type 410 is used for parts such as compressor shrouds, where oxidation
resistance is required up to 1000F. Useful at high temperatures only when
stresses are low.
HARDENABILITY Specification AMS 5504 requires that material 3/8 thick and
under, and 3/8 specimens from heavier material, shall be capable of attaining
hardness of Rockwell C 35-45 after being heated to 1750F, held at heat to 15-30
minutes, and cooled in still air.

Type 431 is a 16 chromium stainless steel modified by the addition of nickel. It
is designed to develop high mechanical properties by conventional heat treating
methods. Its corrosion resistance is superior to such straight chromium grades as
Types 410 and 416. It is magnetic in all conditions. Manufactured by the electricfurnace process, it meets the rigid requirements of the aircraft industry, particularly
for parts which may be subject to magnetic (magna flux) inspection.

properties than can be obtained from Type 410 and where corrosive conditions are
not to severe, such as valve parts, centrifuge bowls, chemical equipment, bolts,
and screws.
Machinability Type 431 has better machining characteristics than the chromium- nickel grades. It has a machinability rating of 45%, with 1212 rated 100%. Surface
cutting speed on automatic screw machines is approximately 75 feet per minute.
WELDABILITY May be welded by all the commercial processes except forge or
hammer welding. Large sections should be preheated prior to welding. Because
of air-hardening properties, this grade should be annealed after welding.
FORGING Forge between 2100 and 2250F. Cool slowly. Do not forge below
1700F.

SPECIFICATIONS AMS 5643 and ASTM A 564 Type 630 are generally applicable.
APPLICATIONS Used where high strength and good corrosion resistance are
required, as well as for applications requiring high fatigue strength, good resistance
to galling, seizing and stress corrosion. Suitable for intricate parts requiring machining
and welding, and/or where distortion in conventional heat treatment is a problem.
CORROSION RESISTANCE The corrosion resistance of 17-4 is superior to that
of hardenable straight chromium grades such as Type 410. It approaches the
corrosion resistance of the chromium nickel grades. In many corrosive media it is
equal to such grades as Type 304. Corrosion resisting properties will be affected
by such conditions as surface finish and aging heat treatment.

15-5 VAR is an improved version of the highly successful 17-4. It possesses
the advantages of 17-4, in that high strength can be developed by a single low
temperature thermal treatment. In addition it offers excellent transverse toughness
and ductility, better mechanical properties in larger sections, and better forgeability.
The composition of 15-5 VAR results in an essentially ferrite-free microstructure,
which accounts for the improved properties.
Fabrication practices for 15-5 VAR are generally the same as those established for 17-4.
15-5 VAR is produced as a consumable electrode, vacuum arc remelted product.
Where the ultimate in quality and uniformity of properties, and transverse notch
toughness in particular, are required, this product is recommended.

AISI 631 UNS S17700
Precipitation Hardening Stainless Sheets
17-7 is a chromium-nickel stainless steel that has the easy-to-work advantages of
the chromium-nickel stainless grades, and yet is capable of being hardened. In the
annealed (Condition A) state, it has excellent fabricating properties, and it can be
precipitation hardened by a simple heat treatment.
In the hardened condition, it possesses excellent mechanical properties both at
room temperature and elevated temperatures up to 800F.
Its corrosion resistance is definitely superior to that of the straight chromium grades,
and in some environments it approaches the chromium-nickel grades.

This grade is one of the most popular high temperature alloys and is widely used
in jet engine and gas turbine applications. It is a precipitation hardening alloy and
thus soft and ductile in the solution treated condition but develops high strength
and hardness with a single precipitation or aging treatment. This grade is designed
to provide high strength up to 1300F and oxidation resistance up to 1500F.
Being austenitic in all conditions, it may be used in high strength non-magnetic
applications due to its low magnetic permeability consumable electrode vacuum
melting practice is used for this alloy resulting in a premium quality steel.

Machinability This grade may be machined using the techniques and
equipment employed for austenitic stainless grades. Since the material is soft and
gummy in the solution treated condition, it is usually machined after complete heat
treatment.
WELDABILITY Material should be in the solution treated condition for welding.
Small sections can be satisfactorily welded using spot, flash, butt welding and
metallic arc utilizing coated electrodes or inert gas shielding. Large sections
under restraint can lead to cracking.
FORGING Forge between 1650F and 2150F. Critical reductions must be
avoided to prevent excessive grain growth. To assist in this problem, as a general
guide, all forging temperatures should be kept well in excess of 1800F or heavy
reductions during the final hot working operation of at least 15% must be given
below 1800F.
ANNEALING Same as solution treating temperature of 1800F, followed by
quenching in oil or water.
