Principal Design Features
416 was the first free machining stainless steel. It is
a heat treatable chromium steel with excellent machinability
and non-galling characteristics. The alloy is magnetic in
all conditions.
Applications
A wide variety of screw machine parts including
nuts, bolts, screws, gears and pinions, valve trim, shafts
and axles.
Machinability
Speeds and feed comparable with those of some of
the free machining carbon steels. Good chip breakage. Material
heat treated at 200 F and cold drawn will give best results.
Welding
Welding of any type is not recommended, as the high sulfur
content creates porosity.
Hot Working
All hot work procedures should commence following uniform
heating to 2100-2250 F (1149-1232 C). Hot work below 1700
F (927 C) may result in cracking.
Cold Working
This alloy will accept only minor cold working. Severe deformation
will result in cracking.
Annealing
1200-1400 F (650-760 C), air cool. For maximum softness,
1500-1650 F (816-900 C), furnace cool.
Tempering
Temper to achieve properties desired. Avoid tempering in
the range of 750-1050 F (399-566 C) to avoid a decrease
in impact strength and corrosion resistance.
Hardening
Soak at 1700-1850 F (927-1010 C) oil quench.
