Stainless/Heat-Resistmg/317

AISI Type 384: Effect of Cold Reduction

on Tensile Properties. Annealed at 1065 c
(1950 F); water quenched. Specimens were
9.53-mm (0.375-in.) round, unstraightened and
untempered. Tests were conducted using
specimens machined to English units. Elongation
was measured in 50 mm (2 in.); yield strength at
0.2% offset. (Ref 10)

Characteristics. AISI type 403 is hardenable (martensitic), chromium stainless steel. This selected quality steel is
manufactured for the production of turbine blades and very
highly stressed parts. It is magnetic in all conditions.
The type 403 alloy may be cold worked by practicnlly nil
metbods of cold forming. Severe forming should be followed
by a stress relief to prevent cracking. The chips formed in
machining are brittle and stringy. For most applications,

31 8/Stainless/Heat-Resisting

material that has been heat treated to hardnesses of 200 to

240 H B , or annealed and cold drawn, is preferred to material
in the fully annealed condition. Machinability of type 403 is
about 55% of that for free-machining A I S I 1212.
T h i s stainless steel can be satisfactorily welded, but is susceptible to air hardening and cracking unless the material is
preheated to a minimum temperature of 150 C (300 F)
prior to welding. When welding type 403, filler metal type
410 should be used.
Type 403 is adaptable to applications where maximum
resistance to corrosion is not required. It is resistant to the
corrosive action of the atmosphere, fresh water and steam,
and the milder acids and alkalis. This grade has good scaling
