(Stainless Steel)
Prof.Dr.-Ing. Bambang Suharno
Stainless steels can be suitable for many different environments : extra low
temperature (down to 0 K) and highly corrosive media (phosphoric acid, sea water,
high chloride concentration, etc)
They are maintenance cost killers in many industries.
Available grades

Iron + carbon =
increasing the hardness and strength of iron.
In austenitic and ferritic stainless steels
a high carbon content is undesirable,
especially for welding carbide precipitation -
brittle
Chrom :
To increase resistance to oxidation.
This resistance increases as more chromium is added.
Duplex Stainless Steel
Cr = ferrite former and sigma phase (carbide former)
Cr > 22%
increase in pitting and crevice corrosion resistance
Cr < 27 % in order to
retain ductility, toughness and corrosion resistance
Molybdenum (Mo):
Strong ferrite former, similar effect as Cr does on
properties
when added to austenitic stainless steels
improves resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion
especially in Cl and S containing environments
Nitrogen (N):
N = austenite forming element
increasing the austenite stability
Yield strength is greatly improved without sensitization
(e.g. carbon)
Manganese (Mn):
to improve hot working properties
and increase strength, toughness and hardenability.
Mn = austenite forming element
used as a substitute for nickel in Austenitic SS
e.g. AISI 202 as a substitute for AISI 304
Copper (Cu):
Cu = normally present as a residual element
in a few alloys to
produce precipitation hardening properties
or to enhance corrosion resistance
W = minor elements
improving corrosion resistance
The addition of W causes
easy to form inter metallic phase compare with W-free
duplex SS
W=
like Cr and Mo promotes sigma phase formation
