MECHANICAL-PROPERTY DATA AFC-260 STAINLESS STEEL

Abstract

AFC-260 is a semiaustentic precipitation-hardenable stainless steel. The composition is balanced so that it can be heat treated to an austenitic structure suitable for cold or warm deformation. With additional thermal treatments, AFC-260 can be transformed to martensite and then age hardened to high strength levels. Preliminary data show that the new AFC-260 retains its strength well upon prolonged exposure to elevated temperatures, that its oxidation resistance is comparable to that of currently available semiaustenitic stainless steels, and that it can be satisfactorily welded with the resulting welds exhibiting a high degree of strength efficiency.
