314 / 1.4841 Stainless Steel | Intamet Ltd

314 stainless steel is a strong metal. It can withstand high temperatures. It is great for furnace parts and heat treatment equipment.

314 stainless steel, also known as 1.4841, is a high-temperature alloy that is characterised by its excellent resistance to oxidation and carburisation. It is a heat-resistant steel grade that is often used in furnace parts and heat treatment equipment. The steel is known for its good mechanical properties, high temperature strength, and good creep resistance.

​The chemical composition of 314 stainless steel includes nickel (25-27%), chromium (19-22%), silicon (1.5%), and molybdenum (2-3%). The high nickel content gives the steel good corrosion resistance, while the chromium provides good oxidation resistance at high temperatures. The molybdenum improves the steel's resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion, while the silicon improves its resistance to carburisation.

314 stainless steel has a melting point of 1454-1510 °C (2650-2750 °F) and a density of 8.0 g/cm3. It has a high yield strength of 205-310 MPa (30-45 ksi) and a high tensile strength of 515-655 MPa (75-95 ksi). Its elongation at break is 40%, and its hardness (Brinell) is 217 HB.

The steel is suitable for use in furnace parts, heat exchangers, heat treatment equipment, and other high-temperature applications. Some of the common industries that use 314 stainless steel include petrochemical, chemical, and power generation. It is also used in the production of furnace parts, heat exchangers, and other high-temperature equipment.

​In summary, 314 stainless steel (1.4841) is a high-temperature alloy with excellent resistance to oxidation and carburisation, suitable for furnace parts and is often paired or inter-changed with 310s / 1.4845

Physical & Mechanical Properties of 314 / 1.4841

The physical properties of 1.4841 (314) stainless steel include:

  • Density: 8.0 g/cm3
  • Melting Point: 1454-1510 °C (2650-2750 °F)

Density refers to the amount of stuff packed into a given space. The melting point, on the other hand, is the temperature at which a solid transforms into a liquid. Yield strength is the stress at which a material begins to deform plastically, tensile strength is the maximum stress that a material can withstand before breaking, elongation at break is the measure of a material's ductility, and hardness is a measure of a material's resistance to permanent deformation.

The mechanical properties of 1.4841 (314) stainless steel include:

  • Yield Strength: 205-310 MPa (30-45 ksi)
  • Tensile Strength: 515-655 MPa (75-95 ksi)
  • Elongation at Break: 40%
  • Hardness (Brinell): 217 HB

​1. 4841 (314) stainless steel has good mechanical properties, high temperature strength, and good creep resistance. It is a heat-resistant steel grade that is often used in furnace parts and heat treatment equipment. The steel is known for its good mechanical properties, high temperature strength, and good creep resistance.

Chemical Composition of 314 / 1.4841

The chemical composition of 1.4841 (314) stainless steel typically includes:

  • Chromium (Cr): 19-22%
  • Nickel (Ni): 25-27%
  • Silicon (Si): 1.5%
  • Molybdenum (Mo): 2-3%
  • Iron (Fe): Balance

​Please note that these values are typical and may vary depending on the specific grade and manufacturer of the stainless steel. As always, it's recommended to check the specification from the manufacturer or supplier.

​The high chromium content provides good oxidation resistance at high temperatures, while the nickel content gives the steel good corrosion resistance. The molybdenum improves the steel's resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion, while the silicon improves its resistance to carburisation. The high nickel and chrome content also gives the steel a good thermal stability.
