SS 1.4845 is the European equivalent of UNS S31008, this grade of heat-resistant stainless steel, commonly referred to as Stainless Steel 310S. These coils contain mainly chromium (25%) and nickel (20%) that make them have extra ordinary oxidation resistance and high temperature mechanical strength.

The UNS S31008 designation is a low carbon variant of SS 310 that is designed to reduce carbide precipitation during welding and increase corrosion resistance. These coils are made with a low carbon content and are therefore suited in applications where sensitization and intergranular corrosion is a concern.

Because of their well-balanced chemical composition and stable austenitic structure, SS 1.4845 coils are characterized by excellent weldability, formability, and thermal fatigue resistance.

SS 1.4845 UNS S31008 Coils have an exclusive combination of physical and mechanical characteristics that predispose them to be utilized in harsh conditions:

High Temperature Resistance: These coils may be used in applications up to a constant service temperature of 1100°C, so they are excellent in heat treatment and furnace parts.
Outstanding oxidation and sulfidation resistance in elevated temperature atmospheres.
They have a tensile strength of 520 -750 Mpa and yield strength of approximately 205 Mpa, making them strong structurally.
Thermal Expansion Coefficient: 14.4 x 10 -6 /C (20 1000 C) that makes it dimensionally stable to thermal cycles.
The SS 1.4845 is much superior in high temperature applications compared to other grades such as SS 304 and SS 316 yet it cannot be used in highly reducing or chloride containing environments.

These characteristics make SS 1.4841 coils reliable choice for industries dealing with elevated temperatures and corrosive conditions.

The versatility and durability of SS 1.4845 coils allow them to be utilized in numerous industries:

In petrochemical industry, they are applied in reformers, radiant tubes and cracking furnaces because of their high heat and oxidation resistance.
In power generation, they are used in superheaters, boiler components and heat exchangers that have to work under severe thermal conditions.
Automotive: Used in exhaust and in turbochargers where high temperature strength is required.
Construction and Architecture: applied in structural supports, facades and ornaments in coastal and urban areas.
Food Processing & Pharmaceutical: chosen where hygienic, corrosion resistant equipment is required in high temperature sterilizing environments.
In both applications SS 1.4845 UNS S31008 Coils offer a cost efficient, durable solution where thermal stability and reliability are of concern.

Choosing SS 1.4845 UNS S31008 Coils have several advantages:

Good high temperature and oxidizing atmosphere resistance guarantee increased service life.
Can be formed, welded and machined to meet intricate industrial requirements.
They are resistant to corrosion which means that they require less maintenance or replacement.
The initial expense is more than the simple stainless steels but the longevity and less downtime provide savings over a period of time.
These properties are the reasons why SS 1.4845 Coils is a material of choice where performance and safety is concerned.

These benefits make SS 1.4841 coils a valuable investment for industries that work in tough environments.

FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)

Q1: Are SS 1.4845 coils magnetic?

A: No, SS 1.4845 coils are non-magnetic in the annealed condition due to their austenitic structure.

Q2: Can SS 1.4845 coils be used in marine environments?

A: While they offer decent corrosion resistance, they are not ideal for environments with high chloride content; SS 316 is a better choice for marine applications.

Q3: Are these coils suitable for cryogenic applications?

A: Yes, they maintain toughness and strength even at low temperatures, although SS 304 or SS 316 may be more commonly used in such cases.

SS 1.4845 UNS S31008 Coils offer unmatched performance in high-temperature and corrosive environments. Their superior strength, durability, and resistance properties make them a go-to choice across numerous industries, from petrochemical to automotive and construction.

If you need a reliable, durable material to use in your high-performance applications, SS 1.4845 UNS S31008 Coils will be a worthwhile investment.
