Stainless Steel

BS 970 Ferritic. Low Strength but good ductility. Used food processing and catering 430S15 equipment and automotive trim,car exhaust systems etc. typ (EN60) Austenitic (Non-M agnetic)Cannot be heat treated but work hardens. Readily formed and welded,used mainly in domestic, dairy and decorative appliances general purpose grade for corrosion resistant applications. This grade is the most widely used of all stainless steels. Its chemical composition,provide the best all-round performance S.S. at relatively low cost. It has excellent low temperature properties. Lower Carbon grades (S15 and less) have improved weldability. Austenitic (Non-M agnetic)Cannot be heat treated but work hardens. It offers high resistance to corrosion. Generally machined components and pipe fittings. This grade is almost as popular as the 304 grade the increased M o content makes the steel more suitable for resisting pitting and crevice then 304 Grade. Lower Carbon grades (S15 and less) have improved weldability.

BS 970 Grade 304S15 (EN58-)

BS 970 Grade 316S16 (EN58J)

BS 970 Austenitic (Non-M agnetic)Cannot be heat treated but work hardens. Grade Titanium stabilized, which offers improved welding properties. 321S12 (EN58B-C) BS 970 Grade 310S31 Austenitic (Non-M agnetic). Pocesses good resistance to scaling at high temperatures. For continuous high temperature service in the range 850 1000oC.

The strength values e.g. the proof stress and yield stress, reduce as the section increases. In the tables below the relevant sections are often thin and so the strength values are maximum values.

BS 970 Numbering system explained The BS970 code number is constructed as follows; a) The first three symbols are a number code indicating the type of steel: 000 to 199 Carbon and carbon-manganese steels. The number represents the manganese content x 100 200 to 240 Free cutting steels. The second and third number indicate the sulphur content x 100 250 Silicon M anganese valve steels 300 to 499 Stainless and heat resisting steels 500 to 999 Alloy Steels

b) The fourth symbol is a letter code . A The steel is supplied to a chemical compostion determine by analysis of the batch sample. H The steel is supplied to a hardenability specification M The steel is supplied to a M echanical Property specification.

S The steel is a stainless steel

c) The fifth and sixth symbol is a number is the actual mean carbon content x 100

In addition to the above coding a condition coding may be applied. indicating the tensile strength range after heat treatment. This is used in conjunction with a limiting section designation.
