Elevated Temperature Properties | ||||||||
303 displays good oxidation resistance in continuous service up to 870 oC and in intermittent service up to 760 oC.
Continuous service however, between 430 oC and 850 oC is not recommended, nor is slow cooling through this range due to the problem of intergranular corrosion. N.B. High temperature use is therefore not generally recommended. | ||||||||
Cold Bending | ||||||||
303 has very limited cold bending properties and it is not generally recommended. | ||||||||
Hot Blending | ||||||||
Hot bending should be performed at 950 oC - 1100 oC, followed by annealing to restore optimum corrosion resistance. |
