UNS number
S46800
Metallurgical class
Ferritic grade: body-centered cubic, little or no tempered martensite, hardenable only slightly by cold working
Type
.- (designation originally assigned by the American Iron and Steel Institute)
Values
Maximum unless a range or minimum is shown; where two limits are shown for the same element in one grade the more stringent applies
Other elements (as printed)
Ti 0.07-0.30, Cb 0.10-0.60, and Ti+Cb 0.20+4x(C+N)-0.80
These are the recommended composition limits of the A959 guide, intended for adoption by standards for stainless steel products; they are not a product specification.
