Principal Design Features
This austenitic stainless steel has an increased molybdenum
content to increase its resistance to corrosion when compared
to other 300 series alloys. It will resist scaling at temperatures
up to 1600 F (871 C) and maintains good mechanical properties
and creep strength at high temperatures.
Applications
Widely used in industry, it was initially designed
for paper mill machinery. It has been used in marine environments
and a wide variety of general industrial components.
Machinability
Low speeds and constant feeds will minimize this
alloy's tendency to work harden. Tougher than 304 stainless
with a long stringy chip, the use of chip breakers is recommended.
Many companies now offer premium machinability grades, such
as CarTech with their Project 70 and 7000 series.
Welding
All common fusion and resistance methods except oxyacetylene
welding have proven successful. Use AWS E/ER316 or 316L
filler metal for best results.
Hot Working
All common hot working processes are possible with this
alloy. Heat to 2100-2300 F (1149-1260 C). Avoid working
this material below 1700 F (927 C). For optimum corrosion
resistance, a post-work annealing is recommended.
Cold Working
Shearing, stamping, heading and drawing can be successfully
performed . To remove internal stresses, a post-work annealing
is recommended.
Annealing
1850-2050 F (1010-1121 C), followed by rapid cooling.
Hardening
This alloy does not respond to heat treatment. Cold work
will cause an increase in both hardness and strength.
