S. S. 330

330 stainless steels offer a wide variety of high level of corrosion resistance, particularly to carburization, oxidation and nitridation.

In aqueous situations, the alloy's chromium content gives resistance to oxidizing conditions while its nickel content imparts resistance to reducing conditions. The high nickel also gives 330 good resistances to chloride-ion stress- corrosion cracking.

Stainless Steel 330 is promptly fabricated by a standard commercial process. In comparison to carbon steel, stainless steels are tougher and tend to work harden quickly. Alloy 330's rate of work hardening is similar to austenitic stainless steels.

This alloy can be satisfactorily machined with proper practices. Slow speeds, sulphurized lubricants, positive feeds and rigid mounts are generally recommended.

Can be effectively welded using GAW methods. Use either 330 or Inco 800 filler materials.

Any hot work should begin at 2100-2150 F and finish at 1800 F.

330 are more difficult to cold form than standard 18-8 stainless steels because of its relatively high strength and work hardening rate. Suppose to utilize higher forces than normal and note its' high spring back.

Soak at 2050-2200 F, air quench.

330 will just harden upon cold reduction and this will not respond to heat treatment.
