Principal Design Features :
|
|
330 is an austenitic, nickel-chromium-iron-silicon
alloy. It combines excellent resistance to carburization and
oxidation at temperatures up to 2200 F(1200 C) with high strength.
|
Applications :
|
|
Extensively used in high temperature environments
where resistance to the combine effects of thermal cycling
and carburization is necessary. Used in a variety of furnace
components as well as in gas turbines, heat exchangers, general
heat treating equipment and neutral and cyanide salt pots.
|
Corrosion Resistance |
|
Successfully resists oxidation and carburization
at temperatures up to 2200 F. SS330 will remain austenitic at
all temperatures and is totally immune to sigma phase formation. |
Machinability :
|
|
With proper practices this alloy can be satisfactorily
machined. Slow speeds, positive feeds, sulphurized lubricants
and rigid mounts are generally recommended.
|
Welding :
|
|
Can be successfully welded using GAW techniques.
Use either 330 or Inco 800 filler materials.
|
Hot Working :
|
|
Any hot work should commence at 2100-2150 F and
finish at 1800 F.
|
Cold Working :
|
|
Due to its relatively high strength and work
hardening rate, 330 is more difficult to cold form than standard
18-8 stainless steels. Expect to use higher forces than normal
and note its' elevated springback.
|
Annealing :
|
|
Soak at 2050-2200 F, air quench.
|
Hardening :
|
|
330 will not respond to heat treatment.; it will
only harden upon cold reduction.
