PRODUCT DATA of AISI 301
MaterialAISI 301
Product Datasheet301_Data_Sheet
General InformationHigh work-hardening rate; applications requiring high strength and ductility. Type 301 is strengthened by cold working. If cold-worked Type 301 is subjected to temperatures above 480C, its room-temperature strength is reduced.
PrecautionsType 301 should not be used for extended periods at temperatures of 400 to 900C and should not be cooled slowly from higher temperatures through this range. Zinc and lead particles must be removed before heating to avoid embrittlement.
Effects of Space environmentThe natural oxide layer is not repaired in vacuum when damaged. Cold welding might occur in contact to similar materials.

General Corrosion StatusNo specific corrosion protection required
Corrosion/ThermalIntergranular attack in corrosive media is pronounced if this steel is sensitized by slow cooling through or by exposure at temperatures between 400 and 900 C. Annealing will eliminate this sensitized condition.
Atmospheric CorrosionGeneral corrosion resistance like that of all austenitic stainless steels.
Stress Corrosion StatusHigh Resistance to SCC: Table 1

EMF vs SCE-0.09 V
Remark: Measured in 3.5% NaCl solution

WeldingThis steel can be readily welded by all techniques, but the weld and heat affected zone becomes susceptible to intergranular corrosion, unless annealed after welding.
