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.
