What is ferritic material?

Ferritic steel is a type of steel that is composed of less than 0.10% carbon. It is magnetic and not capable of hardening through heating. This grade of steel was developed as a stainless steel group that can resist oxidation and corrosion, specifically stress cracking corrosion (SCC).

Is 304 stainless steel ferritic?

A ferritic stainless steel owes its magnetism to two factors: its high concentration of iron and its fundamental structure. Both 304 and 316 stainless steels are austenitic, when they cool, the iron remains in the form of austenite (gamma iron), a phase of iron which is nonmagnetic.

What is ferritic stainless steel made of?

chromium
Ferritic stainless steel is actually defined as a straight chromium non-hardenable class of stainless alloys that have chromium contents ranging from 10.5% to 30% and a carbon content of less than 0.20%. These steels are non-hardenable by heat treatment, and only marginally hardenable by cold rolling.

What is Grade S steel?

304 stainless steel is the most common form of stainless steel used around the world, due to its excellent corrosion resistance and value. It contains between 16 and 24 percent chromium and up to 35 percent nickel, as well as small amounts of carbon and manganese.

What are the different grades of steel?

Based on carbon content, steel grades are often divided into three main groups: low carbon steel grades, such as AISI1005 to AISI 1026, IF, HSLA, TRIP, and TWIP steels, middle carbon steel grades, for example AISI 1029 to AISI 1053, and high carbon steel grades, such as AISI1055 to AISI1095.

What are the different types of steel grades?

There are four types of steel: carbon steel, alloy steel, stainless steel and tool steel. Different steel grades simply denote the chemical make-up of that particular type of steel.

Ferritic is typically metallic materials, that contain some portion of iron in its chemical composition. Ferritic can refer to substances in a solution, in a solid or liquid state. Ferritic may also refer to a type of steel called ferritic steel.
