Specifications:Â UNS S41000
Applications:
Applications requiring moderate corrosion resistance and high mechanical properties are ideal for Alloy 410. Examples of applications that frequently used Alloy 410 include:
- Cutlery
- Steam and gas turbine blades
- Kitchen utensils
- Bolts, nuts, screws
- Pump and valve parts and shafts
- Mine ladder rugs
- Dental and surgical instruments
- Nozzles
- Hardened steel balls and seats for oil well pumps
Standards:
- ASTM/ASME: UNS S41000
- EURONORM: FeMi35Cr20Cu4Mo2
- DIN: 2.4660
Corrosion Resistance:
- Good corrosion resistance to atmospheric corrosion, potable water, and to mildly corrosive environments
- Its exposure to everyday activities (sports, food preparation) is generally satisfactory when proper cleaning is performed after exposure to use
- Good corrosion resistance to low concentrations of mild organic and mineral acids
Welding Characteristics
- Readily welded by all standard methods
- To reduce the risk of cracking, it is suggested to pre-heat the work piece to 350 to 400oF (177 to 204oC)
- Post weld annealing is recommended to retain maximum ductility
Heat Treatment
- The proper hot work range is 2000 to 2200oF (1093 to 1204oC)
- Do not work this material below 1650oF (899oC)
