www.SandmeyerSteel.com Providing Solutions, With Materials and Value Added Products, for Process Industries Corrosion Resistance The corrosion resistance of Sandmeyer Steel 410S stainless steel is similar to type 410. It resists corrosion in atmospheric conditions, fresh water, mild organic and mineral acids, alkalis and some chemicals. It’s exposure to chlorides in everyday activities (e.g., food preparation, sports activities, etc.) is generally satisfactory when proper cleaning is performed after exposure to use.

As shown in the above table, 410S has good corrosion resistance to low concentratiions of mild organic and mineral acids. Oxidation Resistance The oxidation resistance of 410S stainless steel is good. It can be used in continuous service up to 1300°F (705°C). Scaling becomes excessive above 1500°F (811°C) in intermittent service.
Fabrication Data Formability 410S stainless steel can be easily formed by spinning, bending and roll forming. Heat Treatment The alloy can not be hardened by heat treatment. It is annealed in the 1600 – 1650°F (871 – 899°C) range and then air cooled to relieve cold working stresses. 410S should not be exposed to temperatures of 2000°F (1093°C) or above due to embrittlement. If excessive large grains are encountered after annealing mildly cold-worked material, the annealing temperature should be decreased to a range of 1200 – 1350°F (649 – 732°C) range.

However, it may be subject to some slight variations due to our ongoing research Surface Preparation program on corrosion resistant grades. We, therefore, suggest that information be For maximum corrosion resistance to chemical environments, it is essential verified at time of inquiry or order. Furthermore, that the 410S surface be free of all heat tint or oxide formed during annealing in service, real conditions are specific for each application. The data presented here is only for or hot working. All surfaces must be ground or polished to remove any traces the purpose of description and may only be of oxide and surface decarburization. The parts should then be immersed in a considered as guarantees when our Company warm solution of 10-20% nitric acid followed by a water rinse to remove any has given written formal approval. residual iron. Welding 410S is generally considered to be weldable by the common fusion and resistance techniques. Special consideration should be given to avoid brittle weld fractures during fabrication by minimizing discontinuities, maintaining low weld heat input and occasionally warming the part somewhat before forming. 410S is generally considered to have slightly poorer weldability than the most common ferritic stainless steel grade 409. A major difference can be attributed to the alloy addition to control hardening which results in the need for higher heat input to achieve penetration during arc welding. When a weld filler is SANDMEYER required, AWS E/ER 309L or 430 filler material is most often specified. S T E E L C O M PA N Y
