Machining Stainless Steel and Nickel Alloys

Machining Stainless Steel and Nickel Alloys

In most circumstances, machining stainless steel and nickel alloys is more difficult than machining low-alloy steels. However, there are a wide range of compositions, and some grades can have better machinability than mild steel.

Ferrite Content in Austenitic Stainless Steels

Ferrite Content in Austenitic Stainless Steels The basic 300 series stainless steels like 304/304L and 316/316L have an austenitic microstructure and are non-magnetic. In the annealed condition, they are essentially free of ferrite, which is magnetic. Cast products of these alloys typically have some ferrite present. These alloys also form some ferrite when they are […]

Stress Corrosion Cracking

Stress Corrosion Cracking (SCC) is a cracking phenomenon that is crucial to consider when working with specialty alloys. SCC is often associated with chlorides but can also occur with exposure to caustic and other corrosive media. The most common type of stress corrosion cracking in stainless steels occurs in chloride environments, which will be the focus of this discussion.
