* 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ASME as well as to superseded national standards.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

max 31 mm for orders acc. to ASTM 4) according to EN 10088-4

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.

Steel Grades, Properties and Global Standards

Schaeffler Diagram and Microstructures

Austenite ( -iron). Face centered cubic

with 12 atom neighbours. 74% close
packing.

Duplex. (austenitic-ferritic). Wellbalanced

two-phase structure with ferrite content
between 30-50%.

Martensite. Undercooled, oversaturated

solution of carbon in ferrite, achieved by
heat treatment or cold working.

Ferrite (-iron). Body centered cubic with

8 atom neighbours. 68% packing.

The Schaeffler diagram, here a version modified by Outokumpu, 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.
