    Principal Design Features


    431 is a martensitic stainless combining excellent impact strength at high hardness levels with the best
    corrosion resistance of any martensitic stainless steels.

    Applications
    431 has been successfully used in a variety of aircraft and general industrial applications. These include
    fasteners, bolts, valve components and chemical equipment.

    Machinability
    In the fully annealed condition, 431 will gall and build up on the tools. Good surface finishes are not easily
    obtained.

    Welding
    Most electric welding procedures have proven successful with 431 stainless. Filler metal should be AWS
    E/ER410.To avoid cracking, pre-heat the workpiece to 400-600 F (204-316 C). After air cooling, treat at
    1200 F (649 C) to reattain maximum properties.

    Hot Working
    Heat to 2100-2200 F (1149-1204 C) for best results. Do not work material below 1650 F (900 C).

    Cold Working
    This alloy is easily drawn, spun, headed, sheared and bent compared with other stainless steels.

    Annealing
    1200-1250 F (650-677 C), furnace or air cool.

    Tempering
    Temper for desired properties. Temperatures between 700-1050 F (371-565 C) will adversely affect impact
    strength and corrosion properties.
    Hardening
    1800-1950 F (982-1066 C), oil quench or ail cool for maximum properties.

    Physical Data
    Density (lb / cu. in.) 0.28
    Specific Gravity 7.75
    Specific Heat (Btu/lb/Deg F 32-212 Deg F) 0.11
    Electrical Resistivity (microhm-cm (at 68 Deg F)) 432
    Melting Point (Deg F) 2700
    Modulus of Elasticity Tension 29
