Discover Our Great Grade 301 stainless steel

DESCRIPTION:

Stainless steel grade 301 is a commonly available austenitic stainless with good corrosion resistance and elevated carbon to allow for cold working to a variety of tempers. It can be obtained in the 1/4 hard, 1/2 hard, and full hard.

PRODUCT FORMS:

austenitic stainless steel, stainless steel plate, stainless steel coil, stainless steel tubing

SPECIFICATIONS:

S30100 ASTM A666 , A167

TYPICAL APPLICATIONS:

Typical applications for Types 301 are Arcraft structural parts, Roof drainage products, Trailer bodies, Utensils， Conveyor belts, Architectural and automotive rim and Variety of industrial applications.

CHEMICAL COMPOSITION:

MECHANICAL PROPERTIES:

PROCESSING:

Type 301 is non-hardenable by heat treatment. Annealing: Heat to 1900 – 2050°F (1038 – 1121°C), then water quench. Stress Relief Annealing: Heat to 500 – 900°F (260 – 482°C), then air cool.

FORMING:

Type 301 can be formed and drawn. Due to its high work-hardening rate, intermediate annealing may be necessary for severe drawing and forming operations.

WELDING:

301 has similar weldability to the most common 18-8 stainless alloys. The major difference is the high C content of this alloy, which causes the weld heat affected-zones to be susceptible to accelerated corrosion in certain environments. When filler is needed, AWS E/ER 308 is most often specified.

CORROSION:

Type 301 exhibits corrosion resistance comparable to Types 302 and 304 in the mild service conditions. Resistance to atmospheric corrosion, food, juices and road de-icing salt is excellent. The best corrosion resistance is obtained in the annealed condition.
