Steels, and High Performance Alloys


Section: Specialty Steels and Heat-Resistant Alloys
Elevated-Temperature Properties of Stainless Steels
STAINLESS STEELS are widely used at elevated temperatures when carbon and low-alloy steels do not provide adequate
corrosion resistance and/or sufficient strength at these temperatures. Carbon and low-alloy steels are generally more economical
than stainless steels and are often used in applications with temperatures below about 370 qC (700 qF). Several low-alloy steels
with moderate chromium contents (between 1 and 10%) and improved high-temperature strength are also widely used at elevated
temperatures above 370 qC (700 qF). These steels include the creep-resistant chromium-molybdenum ferritic steels discussed in
the article"Elevated-Temperature Properties of Ferritic Steels" in this Volume. Carbon steels may even be suitable for
temperatures above 370 qC (700 qF), if high strength and oxidation are not concerns.
This article deals with the wrought stainless steels used for high-temperature applications (see the article "Cast Stainless
Steels" in this Volume for the elevated-temperature properties of cast stainless steels). Corrosion resistance is often the first
criterion used to select stainless steel for a particular application. However, strength is also a significant factor in a majority of
elevated-temperature applications and may even be the key factor governing the choice of a stainless steel. The stainless steels
used in applications in which high-temperature strength is important are sometimes referred to as heat-resistant steels.
Table 1 gives some typical compositions of wrought heat-resistant stainless steels, which are grouped into ferritic, martensitic,
austenitic, and precipitation-hardening grades. Of these steels, the austenitic grades offer the highest strength at high temperatures
(Fig. 1 ). The precipitation-hardening steels have the highest strength at lower temperatures (Fig. 1 ), but they weaken
considerably at temperatures above about 425 qC (800 qF).
