ENGINEERING MATERIAL OVERVIEW

STEEL AND CLASSIFICATION
Steels are iron–carbon alloys ( about 0.002% to
2 % carbon) that may contain appreciable
concentrations of other alloying elements.
Adding a small amount of non-metallic carbon to
iron trades its great ductility for the greater
strength.

STAINLESS STEEL
Stainless steel is a family of corrosion resistant steels containing chromium (at
least 13% by weight). Stainless steels may also be graded into five basic families
or phases determined by their crystalline structure:

• Austenitic Stainless Steel (Stable phase)

• Ferritic Stainless Steel (Stable phase)

• Duplex Stainless Steel (mixture of austenite and ferrite microstructures that


combine some of the features of each class:
 resistance to stress corrosion cracking – but inferior to ferritic steel;
 superior toughness to ferritic steel – but inferior to austenitic steel;
 roughly twice the strength of austenitic steel;
 superior resistance to pitting, crevice corrosion and stress corrosion cracking;
 high resistance to chloride ions attack;
 high weldability.)

• Martensitic Stainless Steel (phase created when some steels are quenched
from a high temperature to increase hardness and corrosion resistance)

• Precipitation Hardening Stainless Steel (heat treatment used to develop very


high tensile strengths)

STAINLESS STEEL
Series 300

Type 304 stainless steel is a T 300 Series Stainless Steel austenitic. It


has a minimum of 18% chromium and 8% nickel, combined with a
maximum of 0.08% carbon.

Grades

STEEL GRADES
Steel grades are used to classify various steels based on their unique properties such as chemical composition and properties.
Steel grades have been developed by a number of standards organizations.
