Ferritic Stainless Steel Sheet

Most commonly used in sheet form up to 3mm ferritic stainless steels are formable similar to carbon steel.

Ferritic stainless steel sheet.

41003 stainless steel product description ak steel 41003 is an 11 chromium cr ferritic stainless steel with low carbon c and nitrogen n and small additions of manganese mn and nickel ni. Ferritic stainless steel grades. The ferritic stainless steel sheet involves a problem that the ridging is likely to generate at the forming step such as the deep drawing step. The iron chromium phase diagram shows that up to about 13 cr the steel undergoes successive transformations upon cooling from the liquid phase from ferritic α phase to austenitic γ phase and back to α.

Groups of ferritic stainless steels ferritic stainless steel alloys can generally be classified into five groups three families of standard grades groups 1 to 3 and two families of specialty grade steels groups 4 and 5. Choose from our selection of ferritic stainless steel including economical 430 stainless steel polished economical 430 stainless steel and more. Fe cr phase diagram. For ferritic stainless steels that make up includes nickel and titanium.

Welding especially of older grades is difficult and even modern grades require care and greater cleanliness. Known for good ductility resistance to corrosion and stress corrosion cracking. Antimicrobial steel agion. With greater strength than carbon steels ferritics provide an advantage in many applications where thinner materials and reduced weight are necessary such as automotive emission control systems.

Both 304 and 316 stainless steels are austenitic when they cool the iron remains in the form of austenite gamma iron a phase of iron which is nonmagnetic. Ferritic stainless steels are classified in the 400 series usually with 10 to 30 chromium content and are often chosen for their excellent corrosion resistance and elevated temperature oxidation resistance. When some carbon is present and if cooling occurs quickly some of the austenite will transform into martensite tempering annealing will transform the martensitic structure into ferrite and. A ferritic stainless steel owes its magnetism to two factors.

Exposure to elevated temperatures such as welding leads to a refined grain structure of ferrite and low carbon martensite. High in chromium magnetic stainless steels that have low carbon content. The ridging is believed to be caused by a band structure in the hot rolled band which structure exerting an influence on the formability of a cold rolled sheet. In stock and ready to ship.

Its high concentration of iron and its fundamental structure.
