BS S151 is the British aerospace standard for stainless steel alloy Jethete M152. S151 is a creep and corrosion resistant, hardened and tempered steel with a usual upper temperature limit of 560°C. It combines very good toughness and creep rupture properties making it an excellent alloy for use in highly stressed turbine blades, discs, screws, bolts and rings. S151 is usually supplied in the finally heat treated condition, although is available softened at larger diameter, and has a limiting ruling section of 150mm (6"). It can also be supplied dual certified to MSRR 6503.

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 301 1/4 Hard (AMS 5517)

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 1/4 Hard (AMS 5517) material has a miniumum tensile strength of 125ksi and is used in the fabrication of parts that require moderate drawing or forming.

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.
