Stainless Steel 301 Annealed (AMS 5901)

Grade 301 is a 17% Chromium / 7% Nickel austenitic stainless steel. It is supplied in a range of different conditions/tempers depending on the level of strength required. It has good resistance to atmosphere corrosion and its bright attractive surface make it an excellent choice for decorative structural applications.

Resistance to Corrosion & Oxidation
Grade 301 has good resistance to oxidation at temperatures up to 1550°F, but is not recommend for use above 1600°F. 301 is resistance to a variety of corrosive media. However, it's corrosion resistance properties are not as good as the 18-8 chromium-nickel steels and its susceptibility to carbide precipitation during welding restricts its use in many applications in favour of 304/304L alloy. The mechanical properties for the different tempers of 301 are obtained by cold working and not by heat treating. 301 Annealed material has a tensile strength of 75ksi minimum and is used for deep and shallow formed parts.

Stainless Steel 304 (AMS 5513) /304L (AMS 5511)

Type 304 is a variation of the basic 18-8 grade, Type 304, with a higher chromium and lower carbon content. Lower carbon minimizes chromium carbide precipitation due to welding and its susceptibility to intergranular corrosion. In many instances, it can be used in the ”as-welded“ condition, while Type 304 must be annealed in order to retain adequate corrosion resistance.

Type 304L is an extra low-carbon variation of Type 304 with a 0.03% maximum carbon content that eliminates carbide precipitation due to welding. As a result, this alloy can be used in the ”as-welded“ condition, even in severe corrosive conditions. It often eliminates the necessity of annealing weldments except for applications specifying stress relief. It has slightly lower mechanical properties than Type 304.

Stainless Steel 347 (AMS 5512 / AMS 5646)

Alloy 347 is a chromium nickel stainless steel which has been modified by the addition of columbium and tantalum. The main advantage of this is an excellent resistance to intergranular corrosion which is common to other austenitic stainless steels following exposure to temperatures of 800° to 1500°F.

Alloy 347 is generally used where corrosive conditions are severe, such as aircraft exhaust stacks, manifolds and ring collectors. Type 347 is also used for heavy welded assemblies which cannot be annealed after welding or where the operating conditions cause exposure within the temperature range between 800° to 1500°F.

PH 15-7 Mo Stainless Steel (AMS 5520/ UNS S15700)

PH 15-7 Mo is a precipitation hardenening stainless steel used for applications requiring high strength and moderate corrosion resistance. It is similar to 17-7 with the substitution of 2% Molybdenum for 2% Chromium resulting in higher room and elevated temperature strength for 15-7 Mo. PH 15-7 Mo stainless steel may be formed in a soft austenitic condition and then hardened to high strength levels by low temperature heat treatments. This allows miminum distortion compared to other quench and temper hardening processes. For maximum strength requirements, 15-7 Mo strip can be supplied in the hard-rolled Condition C for heat treatment to condition CH900.
