UNS number
S45500
Metallurgical class
Precipitation hardening grade: basically austenitic or martensitic, hardenable by precipitation (age) hardening
Type
XM-16 (numbering system developed and applied by ASTM)
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)
Cu 1.50-2.50, Ti 0.80-1.40, Cb 0.10-0.50
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.
