Steel name: 18%Cr-8%Ni Austenitic Stainless Steel
Diagram No.: 2936
Type of diagram: TTS
Chemical composition in weight %: No data.
Note: Precipitation diagram. Time-temperature sensitization and intergranular corrosion.
Time-temperature relationship for susceptibility to intergranular corrosion of 18%Cr-8%Ni
austenitic stainless steel with various C contents as determined by the Strauss (boiling
acidified copper sulphate) test. Below approximately 550
oC diffusion rates are too low for
significant sensitization to accur in a short time, equally, above approximately 850
oC
chromium carbide precipitation is not only slow but also diffusion rates are sufficiently
high to replenish the Cr-deficient region. The removal of sensitization in this manner by
prelonged holding at 900-950
oC is sometimes termed a 'stabilizing heat treatment'.
