Mechanical and Physical Properties of the Austenitic Chromium-Nickel Stainless Steels at Subzero Temperatures

IN general, as the temperature is reduced, thestrength and hardness of metals increase, the

magnitude depending on the material. However, ductility may or may not decrease markedly. Metals having a face-centered cubic structure, such as nickel and the austenitic stainless steels, remain tough and ductile to very low temperatures where-as metals having a body centered cubic structure, such as iron and the constructional steels, undergo a marked decrease in ductility in some temper-ature range which varies with the material and the testing conditions.

This bulletin is a compilation of the effects of sub-zero temperatures on the properties of the chromium-nickel stainless steels. The data have been collected from various sources and are presented in graphical and tabular form. Since low temperature properties are sensitive to variations in composition and treat-ment, these graphs are merely representative of the properties to be expected.

The Kelvin temperatures, given at the top of the graphs, indicate the boiling points of various liquids and frequently are the temperatures selected for low temperature testing. These temperatures and their Fahrenheit equivalents are listed in the following table:

tures; yield strengths also increase but to a lesser de-gree. There is some reduction in ductility as measured by the elongation and reduction of area. However, the ductility remains sufficiently high to justify the as-sumption that the austenitic chromium-nickel stain-less steels remain ductile to the lowest temperature for which data are available.

The tensile properties of standard grades of chro-mium-nickel stainless steels, in the annealed and cold worked conditions, are given in Figures 1 to 17, in-clusive. Tensile strengths of weldments also increase as shown in Figure 18. Tensile strength of standard cast Type CF-8 is given in Figure 19.

MODULUS OF ELASTICITY

There is a definite increase in the modulus of elas-ticity with falling temperature although the effect is not so marked as the increase in tensile strength. Data on the modulus of elasticity in tension for several stainless steels are given in Table I.

NOTE : The room temperature moduli of elasticity values reported in Table I are low and should not be used for design purposes. The reader is referred to an-other bulletin* for more representative values.

*Bulletin I-A: "Mechanical and Physical Properties of Austenitic Chro-mium-Nickel Steels at Ambient Temperatures."

IMPACT PROPERTIES

The chromium-nickel stainless steels have good duc­tility and notch toughness down to at least -320 F. Figures 20 through 28 show that the annealed and cold worked alloys vary in their impact properties but all retain substantial toughness. In general, the cast stainless grades also retain adequate toughness, as shown in Figures 29 and 30.

Weldments of the chromium-nickel stainless steels have good properties at low temperatures. Table II shows that welded joints retain substantial toughness down to at least -320 F in the as-welded condition. The weld metal deposits vary considerably in their low temperature impact properties, as shown in Table III.

Carbide precipitation can have a pronounced effect on the low temperature impact properties. As shown in Figure 31, Type 302 is severely affected, Type 304 is affected more moderately, and Type 304L is prac-

tically unaffected. Carbide precipitation has little effect on the low temperature impact properties of low carbon Type 316 or Type 347 as shown in Figure 32.

Sigma phase markedly reduces the impact proper­ties of austenitic stainless steels at ambient and low temperatures. Data on Types 316, 318 and 347 are presented graphically in Figure 33.

COMPRESSION PROPERTIES

Compressive strengths, like tensile strengths, increase with decrease in temperature. Compressive yield strengths and elastic limits are given in Figure 34 for Types 303 and 304.

FATIGUE PROPERTIES

Only limited data are available on the fatigue prop­erties of the chromium-nickel stainless steels at low temperatures. Data indicate that the endurance limit

** Ferrite was determined by use of an Aminco-Brenner Magne-Gage, as outlined in "Detection of Ferrite by its Magnetism," by T. V, Simpkinson & .M. J. Lagne, METAL PROGRESS, Feb. 1949, p 164.

*** Not measured but probably the same as test No. 14 since the same electrode was used. • Titania type coating. All other electrodes had lime type coating.

increases as the temperature decreases. Figure 35 shows the fatigue properties of cold worked Type 304 at several temperatures. Both smooth and notched bars show increasing strength with falling tempera­tures, although the improvement in notched bars is less pronounced than in the smooth bars. Figures 36 and 37 indicate that the fatigue strengths of both an­nealed and cold worked Type 302 are considerably higher at -40 F than they are at room temperature.

TOUGHNESS

In addition to the other properties, notched to un­notched tensile ratios are included in Figures 38 to 42 for 301, 302, 304L, 310 and 301N as a basis for evaluation of fracture toughness.

PHYSICAL PROPERTIES

The effect of temperature on the physical properties of the chromium-nickel stainless steels varies, depend­ing upon the property under consideration.

As shown in Figure 43, density increases markedly as the temperature is reduced from ambient to -250 F. Thermal diffusivity varies. As shown in Figure 44, the thermal diffusivity of Types 316 and 347 increase with falling temperature; Type 301 remains relatively unaffected by changes in temperature down to -300 F.

On the other hand, specific heat, emissivity, elec­trical resistivity, thermal conductivity, and thermal expansion decrease with falling temperature. Data on specific heat are shown in Figures 45 and 46. The effects of surface finish and decreasing temperature

therefore data are presented in two different forms. Table IV gives the mean linear coefficient for a series of steels between 70 F and several subzero temperatures. Figures 51, and 53 to 56, inclusive, show the actual ex­pansion that will occur between any two temperatures from -300 F to room temperature per unit of length.

Of the alloys included, Type 301 is the least stable, the instability being attributed to the partial transfor­mation of austenite to ferrite. However, the instability of Type 301 has a negligible effect on expansion char­acteristics.

The effects of low temperature on the magnetic permeabilities of annealed chromium-nickel stainless steels are shown in Figure 57. Since stability depends on composition, it is necessary to select a stable com­position to predict the permeability at low tempera­tures.
