Impact strength

Due to its austenitic microstructure, SANMAC® 4435 has very good impact strength both at room temperature and at cryogenic temperatures.
Tests have demonstrated that the steel fulfils the requirements according to the European standards prEN 13445-2 (UFPV-2) ( (min. 60 J (44 ft-lb) at -270 oC (-455 oF) and EN 10272 (min. 60 J (44 ft-lb) at -196 oC (-320 oF).

Welding

The weldability of Sanmac® 4435 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 316L 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 316L steels when welding with filler material.

For Sanmac® 4435, heat input of <2.0 kJ/mm and interpass temperature of <150°C (300°F) are recommended. Preheating and post-weld heat treatment are normally not necessary.

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 can be find in S-02909-ENG. If priority are given to high production rate in machining Sanmac 316/316L (EN 1.4401/1.4404) is recommended instead of Sanmac® 4435 due to a more suitable chemical composition. Sanmac® 4435 is a machinability improved material with the same reliable machinability as Sanmac® 316/316L (EN 1.4404/1.4404) but with a little shorter expected tool-life.

Turning of Sanmac® 4435

Recommended insert and cutting data (starting values) is available in S-02909-ENG.
