Characteristics
  • T-416 is quite simply described as a free-machining modification of T- 410. The addition of phosphorus and sulphur is responsible for improved machinability, but results in some disadvantages such as lower impact values and poor weldability. However, the steel is designed for free- machining and it is the best of all the stainless steels. The rating is as high as 90% - 160 surface feet per minute.
  • T-416 is mainly supplied in the annealed condition; but it responds to conventional heat treatment and a wide range of mechanical properties may be obtained. It is magnetic in all conditions.
  • T-416 is also available in Pump Shaft quality.
Typical Applications
  • T-416 is used in all applications demanding the mechanical properties and corrosion resistance of T-410 - plus the free-machining. Pump shafts, pistons, valves, automatic screw machined parts, nuts, bolts, studs.
Corrosion and Heat Resistance
  • Maximum resistance is obtained by hardened material, ground and polished. Excellent resistance to fresh water, mild alkalis and acids, dry atmospheres, neutral and basic salts. Fair resistance to scaling up to 675℃ in continuous service.
Heat Treatment
  • Annealing - Heat to 850℃/900℃ for 30 minutes per inch of section thickness. Cool slowly in furnace.
  • Hardening - Heat to 950℃/1000℃ and quench large sections in oil. Small sections may be quenched in air.
  • Tempering - According to mechanical properties required, but the range of 400℃/580℃ is not recommended.
