* designation according to Stahl Eisen Liste (Register of European Steels)

1) Also available as S31803

2) 724L is a modified version of 4435 for Urea applications
3) Additional creep resisting grades are: 1.4941, 1.4950, 1.4951
4) 317LMN not available in all product forms

The grades listed represent the Outokumpu steel programme.

Other grades are also available. The Outokumpu steel names
are generic and cover corresponding steel numbers/names,
which may not have the same chemical composition limits.
Multicertification is made on request to EN/ASTM/

ASME as well as to superseded national standards.

EN steel numbers are listed in: Stahl Eisen Liste.
ASTM/ASME steel numbers are listed in: Metals & Alloys
in the Unified Numbering System (UNS).

quenched and tempered condition

Outokumpu typical values apply for the product listed.

Cold and hot rolled strip values are generally higher than
plate and bar.
EN/ASTM values: Mainly for hot rolled plate, transverse direction, from EN 10088, EN 10095, EN 10028-7,
ASTM A240, A176 and ASME Code Cases. Also values
from EN 10269 and ASTM A473.

EN min. values for cold rolled strip are 10 20 MPa

higher. Hot rolled strip may on request be certified to the
higher level.
Conversion from EN to ASTM, ASME:
1 MPa = 0.1450 ksi
1 J = 0.7376 ftlbf
C
= 5/9 x (F 32)
F = 9/5 C + 32

Microstructures
Austenite

Good to excellent corrosion resistance combined with very

good weldability and formability characterize the austenitic
stainless steels. The austenitic structure has good creep resistance and good oxidation resistance that makes them useful
at elevated temperatures. Austenitic steel can also be used in
cryogenic applications and is in annealed condition the only
non-magnetic steel.
Martensite

These stainless steels are characterized by high strength and

high wear resistance. The corrosion resistance is limited and
the weldability degrades with increasing strength, i.e. increasing carbon content.

Ferrite

Ferritic stainless steels have good corrosion resistance, especially towards stress corrosion cracking. Lower carbon and
nitrogen contents improve both weldability and toughness
which otherwise can be limited.
Duplex (austenite-ferrite)

Duplex stainless steels have high strength, good toughness

and very good corrosion resistance, especially towards stress
corrosion cracking and corrosion fatigue. These steels have
also good weldability and reasonable formability.

The Schaeffler diagram (from ASME III-1) is traditionally used to predict delta ferrite content in weld metal from
chemical composition. It may also be used to characterise
stainless steel microstructures (ferritic, martensitic, austenitic), and to compare the structural balance in similar grades
or casts with the same processing history.
Cr and Ni equivalents are slightly modified above, in line
with Outokumpus standard, and the resulting ferrite number
is designated FNA. The following empirical formulas have
been derived from the diagram:
FNA

= 3.34F 2.46A 28.6 for FNA = max. 5.9

= 4.44F 3.39A 38.4 for FNA = 6.0 11.9
= 4.06F 3.23A 32.2 for FNA = min. 12

The Schaeffler diagram has been revised (WRC-1992 diagram

by Kotecki, Sievert). Outokumpu has complemented with
SM, Solidification Mode. Grades may be considered fully austenitic for SM below 2, where:
SMAF/A= F 1.3A 2.0
with F = Cr + Mo + 2Ti + 0.7Nb
A = 35C + 20N + Ni + 0.25Cu
The martensite balance is traditionally determined from the
Md30 formula (Angel, Nohara), predicting the temperature
(C), at which 30% deformation gives 50% martensite. Outokumpu designates this number MNA. Grades may be considered unstable austenitic for MNA above 0, where:
MNA = 551 462(C + N) 9.2Si 8.1Mn 13.7Cr 29(Ni
+ Cu) 18.5Mo 68Nb

1) Heat treatment temperature: A = Annealing. T = Tempering from

EN 10088-2, EN 10095, EN 10028-7 (N = Normalising).
2) Covered electrodes, acc. to EN 1600, *Avesta Welding designations.
3) Cold forming characteristics: Strain-hardening exponent (n) and
homogeneous elongation (Ahom) in tension test.
4) Machining index: From Outokumpu Machining Guidelines, for
carbide tools/high speed steel tools in relation to 4436. PRODEC
steel conditions have some 30% higher machining index.
5) Pressure purpose grades: From EN 10028-7, ASME IID and

7) Typical Critical Pitting Temperature (CPT): From potentiostatic
testing at +700 mVSCE with the Avesta Cell method in 1M NaCl
(ASTM G150). Other test conditions (ASTM G48 etc.) will give
other CPT values.
