Additional Information
Corrosion Resistance
The corrosion resistance of BS S80 is superior to that of the standard chromium grades such as Types 410 and 416. This grade has excellent resistance to corrosion in all conditions of heat treatment from mild acids and alkalis, neutral and basic salts, food acids, and atmosphere.
Maximum resistance is obtained by hardening and polishing.
Welding
May be welded by all the commercial processes except forge or hammer welding. Large sections should be preheated prior to welding. Because of air-hardening properties, this grade should be annealed after welding.
Machinability
BS S80 has better machining characteristics than the chromium-nickel grades. It has a machinability rating of 45%, with 1212 rated 100%. Surface cutting speed on automatic screw machines is approximately 75 ft/min.
This material can be cold formed. If a cold forming operation is undertaken then a stress relieving treatment should be applied.
