This AISI publication helps designers better understand the large family of corrosion-resistant stainless steels. Describes typical corrosion modes, and how to select materials to minimize or prevent corrosion. Forty-seven figures help illustrate important characteristics of and end-use applications for 57 different stainless steel types, including chemical compositions, physical and mechanical properties, properties at elevated temperatures, and heat-transfer characteristics.

A short description by Tony Newson of Eurofer, of the various grades of stainless steel and how they fit into distinct metallurgical families.

This series of standards applies to unfired pressure vessels subject to a pressure greater than 0,5 bar gauge but may be used for vessels operating at lower pressures, including vacuum. It covers the use of ferritic and austenitic materials at maximum allowable temperatures for which creep effects need not be considered, i.e. where proof strength governs the allowable stress. For ferritic steels the temperature limit corresponds to calculation temperatures below approximately 380°C.

The series specifies the requirements for industrial piping systems and supports, including safety systems, made of metallic materials (but initially restricted to steel) with a view to ensure safe operation

It is applicable to metallic piping above ground, ducted or buried, irrespective of pressure. It includes stainless steels.

The specification of bar (to BS970) and coil / plate (to BS1449) before 1983 covered two type 316 grades: a 'low' carbon with 0.03% max (316S12) and a 'standard' carbon with 0.07% max 316S16. Both had a molybdenum content in the range of 2.25-3.0 %.

The background to the publication of EN10088 parts 1, 2 and 3 and EN10095 is described. Part 1 covers chemical compositions and some physical properties of the European stainless steel grades. Part 2 covers flat products ie sheets and plates, with their mechanical properties and replaces BS1449 part 2 1983. Part 3 covers long products ie bars and sections and replaces BS970 part 1. EN10095 covers Heat Resisting Steels and Nickel Alloys in all product forms. These only cover ?general engineering? purposes. Pressure purposes are covered by EN10028 part 7 (flat products) and EN 10272 (long products). A summary table of standards is shown, which includes the separate dimensional tolerance standards

Publication available in hard-copy form from BSSA The specified compositions and mechanical properties of over 160 “EN” stainless steel grades within 18 current BSEN standards are tabulated. BSEN standards covered include sheet, plate, bars, rods, sections, springs, forgings for pressure purposes, fasteners and so on.

BSENISO 3506 replaces BS6105. Part 1 covers bolts, screw and studs, part 2 nuts and part 4 tapping screws. Grades A1 to A5 are described and fastener grade selection is covered in annexes to the standards. The standards lists grades 1.4439 1.4539 (904L) 1.4529 (6% molybdenum austenitic) and 1.4462 (2205) as suitable for reducing the risk of chloride induced stress corrosion cracking failures in applications such as indoor swimming pools.

EN1993 has about 20 parts covering common rules, fire design, bridges, buildings, tanks, silos, pipelined piling, crane supported structures, towers and masts, chimneys etc. Rules for stainless steel appear for the first time
