Steel name: 304 Stainless Steel
Diagram No.: 2943
Type of diagram: TTS
Chemical composition in weight %: 0.078% C, 1.12% Mn, 0.41% Si, 0.025% P, 0.027% S,
8.49% Ni, 18.10% Cr, 0.21% Cu.
Note: Precipitation diagram. Time-temperature sensitization and intergranular corrosion.
Treatment: All samples were initially given a solution anneal heat treatment at 1100
oC
(2010
oF) for 1 h, followed by a water quench. Some samples were then isothermally
aged to determine the sensitization characteristics of the undeformed material. Other
samples were first deformed and then aged. Aging heat treatments were isothermal
and were followed by a water quench. An argon atmosphere was used for all heat
treatments. The results if the modified Strass Test for undeformed and deformed T304
samples. Each point is for a time and temperature of heating. Each symbol denotes the
response in the test The dashed lines separate the time-temperature combinations
which produce sensitization, from those do not.
