F44 Steel ( UNS S31254 / 1.4547 )

Short Introduction:

  • F44 ( UNS S31254 / 1.4547 ) super austenitic steel combines moderate tensile strength and high ductility with excellent corrosion resistance in seawater and variety of industrial environment. Typically the alloy has PREN of 42 – 44, which ensure that the resistance to pitting corrosion is high and it also has a hight resistance to crevice corrosion.

    F44 Steel ( UNS S31254 / 1.4547 )

    Material grades and equivalents:UNS S31254 / 1.4547 / F44 / 254SMO / 00Cr20Ni18Mo6CuN

    Special properties:

    Material to F44 Steel ( UNS S31254 / 1.4547 ) is described as a 6% Mo super austenitic stainless steel. The steel combines moderate mechanical strength (typically over 300 MPa yield strength) and high ductility with excellent corrosion resistance in seawater and a variety of industrial environments. Typically the alloy has a PREn (Pitting Resistance Equivalent) of 42-44 which ensures that the resistance to pitting corrosion is high. In addition, the steel provides good resistance to crevice corrosion. Ambient and subzero temperature notch ductility is very good. These attributes mean that this high molybdenum stainless steel can be used successfully as an alternative to 300 series austenitic stainless steels (such as type 316) in applications where higher mechanical strength and/or enhanced resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion is required. This alloy possesses a lower yield strength than that of duplex stainless steel (and much lower than that of super duplex steel) and pitting resistance which is comparable to super duplex stainless steel (such as UNS S32760 / S32750).

    *F44 is designated differently in different product forms: for wrought pipe fittings, it is ASTM A403 WPS31254; for forgings, it is ASTM A182 F44; for castings, it should be CK3MCuN or UNS J932

    Corrosion Resistance

    F44 Super Austenitic Stainless Steel offers higher resistance to abrasion, erosion and cavitation erosion than other austenitic stainless grades such as 316. F44 Super Austenitic Stainless Steel has excellent resistance to corrosion in sea water and concentrated halide environments, with good resistance to crevice corrosion in seawater.

    Welding

    F44 Super Austenitic Stainless Steel is readily weldeable with welding procedures used for other austenitic stainless steel specifications. Welding should be carried out at the lowest heat possible as due to its austenite structure it can be prone to hot cracking.
