What is UNS S30400?
What is UNS S30400? This grade of steel is an austenitic stainless steel. It is the most common grade of stainless steel, offered in an extensive types of variants, forms and surface finishes than any other type of stainless steel.

General characteristics

Core 301/4310 has a lower chromium and nickel alternative to Core 304/4301 with high work hardening capacity. It is a good choice for applications subjected to high mechanical loading. Core 301/4310 is an austenitic CrNi stainless steel with high carbon and relatively low nickel content. It shows a high degree of work hardening on mechanical deformation.

Core 301/4310 is used in applications where corrosion resistance and a combination of high mechanical strength and good formability are needed. Due to its strong tendency to work hardening, Core 301/4310 can absorb an increased amount of energy during deformation. It can be delivered in temper rolled condition with different strength levels.

SS 301 is an austenitic Chromium-Nickel stainless steel capable of attaining high strength with moderate cold working. The combination of high strength and good ductility makes it suitable for numerous mechanical switches as well as electronic and computer spring components.

The alloy is readily formed in the annealed temper. Ductility decreases with increased cold rolled strength but not to the degree that would occur with SS 302. It is not recommended for deep drawing. SS 301 can be welded by all conventional processed except oxy-acetylene. The weld should not make contact with electrolytes to prevent intergranular corrosion. SS 301 is resistant to atmospheric corrosion and is additionally resistant to mildly corrosive mediums. The combination of narrow strength bands and close thickness tolerance provided by Hamilton Precision Metals is the key to repeatable response characteristic in spring and switch applications.
