Applications

Sanmac® 4571 is used for a wide range of industrial applications where steels of type ASTM 304/304L have insufficient corrosion resistance. Typical applications are:

• Machined parts for tube and pipe fittings, valves
• Components for pumps

Corrosion resistance

General corrosion

Sanmac® 4571 has good resistance to:

• Organic acids at high concentrations and temperatures, with the exception of formic acid and acids with corrosive contaminants
• Inorganic acids, e.g. phosphoric acid, at moderate concentrations and temperatures, and sulphuric acid below 20% at moderate temperatures. The steel can also be used in sulphuric acid of concentrations above 90% at low temperature.
• E.g. sulphates, sulphides and sulphites
• Caustic environments.

Intergranular corrosion

Sanmac® 4571 has better resistance to intergranular corrosion than unstabilised steels. The addition of titanium prevents precipitation of chromium carbides in the grain boundaries after prolonged heating in the temperature range 450- 850°C (840-1560°F).

Pitting and crevice corrosion

Resistance to these types of corrosion improves with increasing molybdenum content and Sanmac® 4571 with about 2.1% Mo has substantially higher resistance than steels of type AISI 304/304L.

Stress corrosion cracking

Austenitic stainless steels are susceptible to stress corrosion cracking. This may occur at temperatures above about 60°C (140°F), if the steel is subjected to tensile stresses and at the same time comes into contact with certain solutions, particularly those containing chlorides. Such service conditions should therefore be avoided. Conditions when plants are shut down must also be considered as the condensates which are then formed can develop a chloride content that leads to both stress corrosion cracking and pitting.

In applications demanding high resistance to stress corrosion cracking, austenitic- ferritic steels, e.g Sanmac SAF™ 2205 or SAF™ 2507 have higher resistance to Stress corrosion cracking than 4571.

Gas corrosion

Sanmac® 4571 can be used in:

• Air up to 850°C (1560°F)
• Steam up to 750°C (1380°F)

Creep behaviour should also be taken into account when using the steel in the creep range. In flue gases containing sulphur, the corrosion resistance is reduced. In such environments these steels can be used at temperatures up to 600-750°C (1110-1380°F) depending on service conditions. Factors to consider are whether the atmosphere is oxidising or reducing, i.e. the oxygen content, and whether impurities such as sodium and vanadium are present.

Impact strength

Due to its austenitic microstructure, SANMAC® 4571 has very good impact strength both at room temperature and at cryogenic temperatures.
Tests have demonstrated that the steel fulfils the requirements (60 J (44 ft-lb) at -196 ^oC (-320^oF)) according to the European standards prEN13445-2(UFPV-2) and EN 10272.

Welding

The weldability of Sanmac® 4571 is good. Suitable methods of fusion welding are manual metal-arc welding (MMA/SMAW) and gas-shielded arc welding, with the TIG/GTAW method as first choice.

Since this material is alloyed in such a way to improve its machinability, the amount of surface oxides on the welded beads might be higher compared to that of the standard 316Ti steels.

This may lead to arc instability during TIG/GTAW welding, especially welding without filer material. However, the welding behavior of this material is the same as for standard 316Ti steels when welding with filler material.

For Sanmac® 4571, heat input of <1.5 kJ/mm and interpass temperature of <100°C (210°F) are recommended. Preheating and post-weld heat treatment are normally not necessary.

Hot working of SANMAC® 4571 shall be followed by rapid cooling in water or in air. If any possible additional heat treatment is used this should be carried out in accordance with given recommendations for heat treatment.

Machining

Sanmac is our trademark for the Alleima machinability concept. In SANMAC materials, machinability has been improved without jeopardizing properties such as corrosion resistance and mechanical strength.

The improved machinability is owing to:

• Optimized non-metallic inclusions
• Optimal chemical composition
• Optimized process and production parameters

Detailed recommendations for the choice of tools and cutting data regarding turning, thread cutting, parting/grooving, drilling, milling and sawing are provided in the brochure S-02909-ENG.

The diagram shows the ranges within which data should be chosen in order to obtain a tool life of minimum 10 minutes when machining SANMAC® 4571.

Figure 1. Machining chart SANMAC® 4571.

The ranges are limited in the event of low feeds because of unacceptable chip breaking. In the case of high cutting speeds, plastic deformation is the most dominant cause of failure. When feed increases and the cutting speed falls, edge frittering (chipping) increases significantly. The diagram is applicable for short cutting times. For long, continuous cuts, the cutting speeds should be reduced somewhat.

The lowest recommended cutting speed is determined by the tendency of the material to stick to the insert (built-up-edge), although the integrity of insert clamping and the stability of the machine are also of great significance.

It is important to conclude which wear mechanism is active, in order to optimize cutting data with the aid of the diagram.

Turning of SANMAC® 4571

Recommended insert and cutting data (starting values for a tool-life of 15 minutes)

Drilling of Sanmac

The recommended methods for drilling give the most cost effective results for the respective diameter ranges. When producing holes with diameters larger than 58 mm, short-hole drilling is used up to 58 mm, followed by internal turning up to the desired diameter. Cutting data for internal turning should be chosen in accordance with the turning recommendations. The recommendations for drilling are applicable for a tool-life of 30 minutes.
