Instructions: The UNS number (short for "Unified Numbering System for Metals and Alloys") is a
systematic scheme in which each metal is designated by a letter followed by five numbers. It is a
composition-based system of commercial materials and does not guarantee any performance
specifications or exact composition with impurity limits. Other nomenclature systems have been
incorporated into the UNS numbering system to minimize confusion. For example, Aluminum 6061
(AA6061) becomes UNS A96061.
This is an overview of the UNS system, with special emphasis on common commercial alloys. As
with any system, there are ambiguities such as the distinction between a nickel-based superalloy
and a high-nickel stainless steel.
About 75% of the metal data sheets in MatWeb have a UNS number that has been tied to its
particular entry. You may easily find such metals by typing the UNS number in the Quick Search
box in the upper right of this page. You may also make your selection from inside the boxes below
and click on the appropriate 'Find' button. You can then follow the links to the complete technical
data on MatWeb's extensive list of aluminum, copper, lead, magnesium, tin, titanium, nickel,
stainless steel, and other metal alloys.
This page lists every UNS Number that is included in the MatWeb database. For cases in which our
sources do not state a UNS Number, whether or not such a number has been assigned, then it will
not appear on this page. You can also use our Index of Engineering Materials page to search by
metal type such as titanium alloy or tool steel or use our Metal and Alloy Composition Search for a
systematic search based on an alloy's component elements. Regardless of how you navigate
through MatWeb, you will find detailed technical property data such as tensile strength, elastic
modulus, thermal conductivity, and coefficient of thermal expansion.

XM-19 is composed of between 20% and 23% chromium, 11% to 13% nickel, 4% to 6%
manganese, and 1.5% to 3% molybdenum, with the balance being iron. Also found in XM-19 are
trace amounts of carbon, silicon, sulfur, phosphorus, nitrogen, columbium (or niobium) and
vanadium. As noted previously, it is much stronger than Stainless Steels 316/316L and 317/317L;
however, the same fabrication equipment and procedures used for the Stainless Steel 300
grades can be utilized for XM-19. In addition, the same cooling techniques used for Stainless
Steels 316/316L and 317/317L can be utilized for XM-19.
XM-19 can be a confusing alloy to work with, as there are three different types of conditions used
for numerous applications. The three conditions are annealed, as-rolled and high strength. As-
rolled is a term used by the mill to state the fact that it is a “rolled” material. All conditions of
XM-19 are first rolled. Both the annealed condition and the as-rolled condition are rolled at the
same temperature. To acquire XM-19 annealed, the material would first be rolled, followed by
either a mill or local annealing process which lowers the tensile and yield properties resulting in a
more workable material. On the other hand, transforming XM-19 into the high strength condition
can only be done at the mill after the original rolling process, which is done at a lower
temperature than annealed and as-rolled material to further help increase the properties. Then
high strength material is rolled a second time and later cold worked, which again increases the
physical properties of the material even more.

UNS S42000, commonly known as Stainless Steel 420 is the high carbon content version of
Stainless Steel 410. Corrosion resistance is similar between the two, but Stainless Steel 420
additionally provides increased strength and hardness. Like Stainless Steel 410 it is also
considered a “general purpose grade” including at least 12% chromium, which is enough to give
it acceptable corrosion resistance. Typically, Stainless Steel 420 achieves its best corrosion
resistance when the alloy is hardened and polished, or surface ground.

The composition of UNS S15500 includes small amounts of carbon, manganese, phosphorus,
columbium (or niobium), tantalum, silicon and sulfur. 15500 can be forged, welded and formed.
Machining may be performed in the solution-annealed state or in the final heat treat condition.
Desired mechanical properties such as ductility and strength can be achieved through heating
the material at various temperatures.
UNS S15500 is a martensitic precipitation hardening grade. Martensitic stainless steels were
designed as a type of alloy which is corrosion resistant and could also be hardened through heat
treatment.

UNS S31254 is often referred to as a “6% Moly” grade due to the molybdenum content; the 6%
Moly family has the ability to withstand high temperatures and maintain strength under volatile
conditions. This grade has surpassed its original intent and overlapped into many industries
proving useful owing to its high level of molybdenum amount other elements, which allows
31254 to be used successfully in various applications such as Flue gas desulfurization and
Chemical environments.
Industries that use 31254 include:
• Chemical
• Desalination
• Flue gas desulfurization
• Food processing

Generally, UNS S31803 has been solely designated to the Duplex 2205® grade. More recently, it
has been available complying with the higher corrosion resistant composition UNS S32205. The
only difference in the UNS numbers is that UNS S32205 contains a higher nitrogen content which
guarantees better corrosion resistance. Composed of between 21% to 23% chromium, 4.5% to
6.5% nickel, 5% to 3.5% molybdenum, 2% manganese, and 1% silicon, with the balance being
iron. Also found in Duplex Stainless Steel are trace amounts of carbon, phosphorus, sulfur and
nitrogen.
Benefits of Duplex include: good weldability and workability, high resistance to corrosion fatigue,
stress corrosion cracking (especially chloride stress corrosion cracking), erosion, and high energy
absorption. Other advantages of Duplex are higher heat conductivity and low thermal expansion
compared to austenitic stainless steels, high strength, good resistance to sulfide stress corrosion,
and high resistance to pitting and crevice to corrosion. Duplex 2205® accounts for over 80% of
the total usage of Duplex stainless steels throughout the world because of its superior
workability as well as corrosion resistance.

Super Duplex UNS S32760 is very similar to 32750 with slight differences in their chemical
compositions. 32760 contains lower amounts of manganese, phosphorus, sulfur, molybdenum
and nitrogen; conversely it has higher amounts of silicon and copper. However, the chemical
makeup of both grades requires identical amounts of carbon, chromium, and nickel; making
them interchangeable for some applications.
UNS S32760 is able to compete strongly with the 6% molybdenum “super austenitic” grades in
some applications, as it has fewer amounts of Mo and Ni which drive up the base cost of the
material. Although, 32760 has lower amounts when compared to “6% Moly” grades it still has
higher contents of Cr, Ni, and Mo when referring to other alloys, these elements improve the
intergranular and pitting corrosion resistance of the material. The specific addition of nitrogen
promotes structural hardening by interstitial solid solution mechanism, which raises the yield
strength and ultimate strength values without impairing toughness. The two phase “duplex”
microstructure guarantees higher resistance to pitting, stress corrosion cracking, corrosion
fatigue, crevice corrosion and strong weldability in comparison with conventional stainless steels.

Nickel Alloy 500 Rev. G, QQ-N-286G, is an approved Federal specification, generally used in naval
applications. This specification calls for the material to be raised to an even higher level of
standard than the basic Nickel Alloy 500. It must be produced either by an electric arc furnace, or
a vacuum induction furnace. After production the material will be further refined to pass the slow
strain rate tensile test (SSRTT). In retrospect, Nickel Alloy 500 Rev. G is requested for
applications generally because it is not susceptible to intergranular cracking.

Nickel Alloy 718 maintains high strength and good ductility and oxidation resistance up to high
temperatures; conversely it has outstanding cryogenic properties. An example of these
combined characteristics used in one application can be seen in the aerospace industry. Nickel
Alloy 718 provides vital strength aircrafts require, it can withstand both the intense heat of the
afterburners and the freezing temperatures experienced at high altitude.
NSA offers many different conditions of Nickel Alloy 718: AMS 5662 solution treated, AMS 5663
solution treated and aged, AMS 5664 solution treated and aged, NACE MR-01-75, and many
customer specific conditions.
AMS 5662 is the rawest state of 718, and the softest condition of the AMS group. It can be heat
treated into AMS 5663; this heat treatment can be done in two ways to achieve specific
outcomes such as optimum impact properties, or optimum tensile and creep-rupture properties.
The hardness of AMS 5662 is about 20-25 HRC and can increase upon aging to about 36-44 HRC.
Some prefer to machine their parts in AMS 5662 and later heat treat to their desired specification
to the softness of the material, while others prefer the opposite machining their parts afterwards.
Regardless, the same outcome of AMS 5663 is achieved.
AMS 5564 is different than the other AMS specifications; it has a more complicated forming
process and is available through NSA upon mill run. The outcome is a higher tensile and yield
strength, along with specific grain size restrictions. These restrictions enable AMS 5664 to have a
higher strength which is desired for some aerospace applications.
NACE MR-01-75, produced in accordance with API (American Petroleum Institute), is in a separate
category than the AMS conditions. NACE conditions of 718 have an adjusted chemistry which
allows for the material to have a different range of characteristics. NACE conditions have a
tighter element content range in addition to adjusted annealing and aging temperatures which
produces a product with lower mechanicals, larger grain and increase toughness. NACE can be
achieved through heat treating the AMS material but it is extremely complicated and not
recommended. It is produced satisfactorily at the mill in a group of its own, as the chemical
composition is slightly different than the AMS grades. Although this composition is special, the
material is still recognized as UNS N07718. The tensile and yield are lower as well as the
hardness which is about 40 HRC max which is lower than that of the AMS specifications
depending on how much they were aged. These combined physicals make 718 NACE the
preferred condition for many oil, offshore, and OEM applications.

Nickel Alloy C-276 is a fairly normal alloy in the sense that it can be impact extruded, forged and
hot upset forged by conventional means. It has good machineability as it can be successfully
press formed, spun, punched or deep-drawn; however it does have a tendency to work harden as
is true of the nickel base alloys in general. It can be welded by all common methods such as gas
metal-arc, resistance welding, gas tungsten-arc or shielded metal-arc. Applying minimum heat
input combined with sufficient penetration can reduce hot cracking to avoid the possibility of
carburization. Two methods that are not recommended are submerged arc welding and
oxyacetylene welding when the component is to be used in a corrosive environment. A welding
advantage of Nickel Alloy C-276 is that it can be used in the “as-welded” condition without
further heat treatment for most corrosive applications.
