Heat Treatment of 410, UNS S41000, X12Cr13, 1.4006 stainless steel

410, UNS S41000, X12Cr13, 1.4006 steels have good scaling resistance at temperatures of up to 650 °C. However, the mechanical properties of the material will tend to reduce at temperatures ranging from 400 to 580 °C.Annealing - Grade 410 steels can be fully annealed at temperatures from 815 to 900 °C, followed by slow furnace cooling and air-cooling. Process annealing of 410 steels can be carried out at temperatures ranging from 650 to 760 °C and air-cooled. Hardening – Hardening of 410 steels can be performed at 925 to 1010 °C, followed by air and oil quenching. Heavy sections of grade 410 need to be oil quenched. Tempering, to enhance the mechanical properties and hardness of grade 410 steels, follows this process. It is not recommended to perform tempering at temperatures from 400 to 580 °C.


Welding of 410, UNS S41000, X12Cr13, 1.4006 stainless steel

410, UNS S41000, X12Cr13, 1.4006 martensitic stainless steel  can be easily machined in highly tempered or annealed conditions. However, it is hard to machine grade 410 steels if they are hardened above 30HRC. Free machining grade 416 is the best alternative.


Machining of 410, UNS S41000, X12Cr13, 1.4006 stainless steel

410, UNS S41000, X12Cr13, 1.4006 martensitic stainless steel can be welded using all conventional welding techniques, but the materials should pre-heated at 150 to 260 °C followed by post-weld annealing treatment, to mitigate cracking. Grade 410 welding rods are recommended for tempering and post-hardening. In the "as welded" conditions, grade 309 filler rods can be used to achieve a ductile joint.according to AS 1554.6 standards, grade 309 electrodes or rods are preferred for welding 410 steels.
