Typical Applications

Used where higher mechanical properties than 410 are

required and where corrosive conditions are not too

severe. Typically: valve parts, centrifuge bowls, chemical

equipment, bolts and screws, in aerospace, defence and

high technology markets.

Product Description

S80 is a 16% chromium stainless steel modified by the

addition of nickel, in the British Standard Aerospace series

of alloys. It is designed to develop high mechanical

properties by conventional heat treatment methods and

provide good corrosion resistance. This grade is

manufactured by electric melting process. It is magnetic in

all conditions and can therefore be used for parts which

may be subject to magnetic inspection. The designation

S80D denotes material in the hardened and tempered

condition.
