Product Details
300 Series Stainless-301 Stainless Steel
Shanghai unite steel inventory now includes Alloy 301 (UNS S30100)
in sheet and sheet coil with short delivery. This grade is
inventoried in three coniditoins: 1/4 hard, 1/2 hard, Full hard.
General Properties
Stainless steel grade 301 is a commonly available austenitic
stainless with good corrosion resistance and elevated carbon to
allow for cold working to a variety of tempers. It can be obtained
in the 1/4 hard, 1/2 hard, and full hard.
Specifications: S30100
Applications:
High strength and excellent corrosion resistance make Type 301
Stainless Steel useful for a wide variety of applications. Typical
uses include:
- aircraft structural parts
- trailer bodies
- utensils
- architectural and automotive rim
- roof drainage products
- conveyor belts
- variety of industrial applications.
Standards:
- ASTM/ASME: UNS S30200
- EURONORM: X 12 CrNi 17 7
- DIN: 1.4310
Corrosion Resistance
- Good resistance in applications involving external exposure to
mildly corrosive conditions at ambient temperatures.
- Resists outdoor, industrial, marine, and mild chemical environments
- susceptible to carbide precipitation during welding, which
restricts its use in some applications
- Similar to resistance of Stainless Steel grade 304
Heat Resistance
- Can be exposed continuously without appreciable scaling to a max of
1600°F(871°C).
- Maximum exposure temperature is about 1450°F (788°C), for
intermittent exposure
- Has an oxidation weight gain of 10mg/cm 2 in 1,000 hours, in
temperatures over 1600°F (871°C).
Heat Treatment
- Solution Treatment (Annealing) – Heat to 1010-1120°C and cool
rapidly.
- Use low side of range for intermediate annealing.
- This grade cannot be hardened by thermal treatment.
Cold Working
- hardens at high rate, creating a very high strength from cold
rolling and from roll forming.
- more difficult to work than other austenitic stainless steels, due
to its high work hardening rate.
- strain-hardened austenitite steel undergoes partial transformation
into martensitite steel during this process.
- severe cold deformation can still occur, due to residual ductility.
- Grade 301 becomes strongly magnetic when cold rolled
Welding
- must be annealed for maximum corrosion resistance
- material will lose temper in the heat affected weld zone.
- Welding and post weld annealing will both remove high strength
induced by prior cold rolling.
- Spot welding is commonly used to assemble cold rolled 301
components.
