Trend curves describing the temperature dependence of tensile properties have been formulated for several weld-deposited austenitic stainless steels and also for wrought Type 304. Ratios of elevated-temperature properties to room-temperature properties were fitted to polynomial expressions in temperature by regression analysis. Represented in the study were eleven weldments, four weld processes, and five weld metal alloys. Trend curves were established for 308/308L, CRE 308, and 16-8-2 compositions as well as for all the weld metal data. The results showed that the degree of correlation between predicted and observed properties was dependent upon variations in weld process and parameters but that the ratio trend curve approach yielded a useful degree of correlation of the elevated-temperature properties even without considering all the complex features of the weld-deposited materials.

Molybdenum is added to improve elevated temperature strength and corrosion resistance for type 316 compared to type 304 stainless steel. Strong carbide forming elements, like titanium and niobium, are also added to these steels to improve creep strength and reduce stress corrosion cracking, as well as to improve resistance to irradiation induced swelling and helium embrittlement. This work shows that fairly pure TiC and NbC form in Ti- and Nb- stabilized versions of type 304 stainless steel (types 321 and 347, respectively); however, the Ti-rich MC dissolves Mo considerably whereas the NbC remains compositionally quite pure when these phases form in Ti- and Nb- modified type 316 stainless steels, respectively.

Abstract The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, Section XI utilizes reference fatigue crack growth rate (FCGR) curves for flaw evaluations. The current ASME reference curve for austenitic stainless steels in air environments is a Paris-Law relation with a single ΔK exponent that covers the entire ΔK range. Since generation of the model that became the ASME reference curve, extensive additional FCGR testing of Type 304, Type 304L, and Type 304/304L dual-certified stainless steel and the corresponding weld metal has been performed in an elevated temperature air environment. This testing revealed fatigue crack growth (FCG) behaviors that were not adequately captured by the ASME reference curve. In particular, the ASME reference curve failed to capture a flattening of the FCGR curve in the intermediate ΔK range before the FCGRs sharply dropped off as the threshold behavior is approached. Additionally, the FCGR data showed a slight frequency-dependence. Based on this new data, a new FCGR model was generated for Type 304 austenitic stainless steels in air environments between 250°C and 338°C. A tri-linear Paris-Law style correlation was chosen for the updated FCGR model to accommodate both the flattening of the FCGR curve at intermediate ΔK levels and the sharp downturn in the near-threshold ΔK regime. Each of the three branches of the FCGR curve exhibit a different R-ratio dependence, with the near-threshold regime being the most sensitive to changes in the R-ratio.

Abstract ATI 310S is a 25Cr-20Ni austenitic stainless steel that is typically used for elevated temperature applications. Owing to its higher chromium and nickel contents the alloy provides comparable corrosion resistance, superior resistance to oxidation, and the retention of a larger fraction of room temperature strength than the common austenitic stainless steels such as Type 304. This datasheet provides information on composition, physical properties, elasticity, and tensile properties. It also includes information on corrosion resistance as well as forming, heat treating, machining, and joining. Filing Code: SS-1328. Producer or source: ATI.

Thermomechanically induced strain is a key variable producing accelerated carbide precipitation, sensitization and stress corrosion cracking in austenitic stainless steels (SS). Recent work has indicated that higher levels of strain (above 20%) also produce transgranular (TG) carbide precipitation and corrosion simultaneous with the grain boundary phenomenon in 316 SS. Transgranular precipitates were noted to form primarily on deformation twin-fault planes and their intersections in 316 SS.Briant has indicated that TG precipitation in 316 SS is significantly different from 304 SS due to the formation of strain-induced martensite on 304 SS, though an understanding of the role of martensite on the process has not been developed. This study is concerned with evaluating the effects of strain and strain-induced martensite on TG carbide precipitation in 304 SS. The study was performed on samples of a 0.051%C-304 SS deformed to 33% followed by heat treatment at 670°C for 1 h.
