Stainless Steel 416 |
 |
|
|
|
||
| Principal Design Features | 416 was the first free machining stainless steel. It is a heat treatable chromium steel with excellent machinability and non-galling characteristics. The alloy is magnetic in all conditions. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Applications |
A wide variety of screw machine parts including nuts, bolts, screws, gears and pinions, valve trim, shafts and axles.
|
|
|
|
Machinability |
|
Speeds and feed comparable with those of some of the free machining carbon steels. Good chip breakage. Material heat treated at 200 F and cold drawn will give best results.

|
Welding |
|
Welding of any type is not recommended, as the high sulfur content creates porosity. |

Hot Working |
|
All hot work procedures should commence following uniform heating to 2100-2250 F (1149-1232 C). Hot work below 1700 F (927 C) may result in cracking. |
|
|
|
Cold Working |
|
This alloy will accept only minor cold working. Severe deformation will result in cracking. |
|
|
|
Annealing |
|
1200-1400 F (650-760 C), air cool. For maximum softness, 1500-1650 F (816-900 C), furnace cool. |

|
|
|
Tempering |
|
Temper to achieve properties desired. Avoid tempering in the range of 750-1050 F (399-566 C) to avoid a decrease in impact strength and corrosion resistance. |
|
|
|
Hardening |
|
Soak at 1700-1850 F (927-1010 C) oil quench. |
