Stress relaxation characteristics of type 304 stainless steel

  • 1. Westinghouse Research Labs., Pittsburgh, Pa. (USA)

Description

The stress relaxation of type 304 stainless steel below 9000F (4820C) is practically time independent after 100 h and has a maximum of about 18 per cent. The per cent relaxation decreases with increasing degree of cold work and with decreasing stress. Above 9000F the per cent relaxation increases with time, temperature, and cold work. The initial stress can also be increased for cold work materials so that the remaining stress can be maintained at a higher value even up to 12000F (6490C). Time-temperature parameters are practical to correlate and extrapolate the data in the higher temperature range. (author)
