Ferritic Stainless Steel Sheet

To qualify as stainless steel fe base alloys must contain at least 10 5 cr.

Ferritic stainless steel sheet.

Groups of ferritic stainless steels ferritic stainless steel alloys can generally be classified into five groups three families of standard grades groups 1 to 3 and two families of specialty grade steels groups 4 and 5. Exposure to elevated temperatures such as welding leads to a refined grain structure of ferrite and low carbon martensite. Known for good ductility resistance to corrosion and stress corrosion cracking. Its high concentration of iron and its fundamental structure.

High in chromium magnetic stainless steels that have low carbon content. With greater strength than carbon steels ferritics provide an advantage in many applications where thinner materials and reduced weight are necessary such as automotive emission control systems. When some carbon is present and if cooling occurs quickly some of the austenite will transform into martensite tempering annealing will transform the martensitic structure into ferrite and. For ferritic stainless steels that make up includes nickel and titanium.

Antimicrobial steel agion. Choose from our selection of ferritic stainless steel including economical 430 stainless steel polished economical 430 stainless steel and more. Most commonly used in sheet form up to 3mm ferritic stainless steels are formable similar to carbon steel. Both 304 and 316 stainless steels are austenitic when they cool the iron remains in the form of austenite gamma iron a phase of iron which is nonmagnetic.

In stock and ready to ship. A ferritic stainless steel owes its magnetism to two factors. The iron chromium phase diagram shows that up to about 13 cr the steel undergoes successive transformations upon cooling from the liquid phase from ferritic α phase to austenitic γ phase and back to α. Fe cr phase diagram.

Ferritic stainless steel usually contains 10 5 to 27 chromium. Ferritic stainless steel grades. Welding especially of older grades is difficult and even modern grades require care and greater cleanliness. Ferritic stainless steels are classified in the 400 series usually with 10 to 30 chromium content and are often chosen for their excellent corrosion resistance and elevated temperature oxidation resistance.

41003 stainless steel product description ak steel 41003 is an 11 chromium cr ferritic stainless steel with low carbon c and nitrogen n and small additions of manganese mn and nickel ni.
