ASME SA240/ASTM A240 UNS S30415, often referred to as a nitrogen-enhanced variant of 304H stainless steel, is an austenitic stainless steel with 17.0-19.0% chromium, 9.0-11.0% nickel, 0.12-0.18% nitrogen, and a carbon content of 0.04-0.10%. It is engineered for high-temperature applications, offering excellent creep resistance, enhanced corrosion resistance, and good weldability. The nitrogen addition improves strength and pitting resistance compared to sa 240/a 240 uns s30400, making it suitable for industries such as power generation, chemical processing, and high-temperature equipment manufacturing.
The ASME SA240/ASTM A240 UNS S30415 stainless steel sheet provides superior high-temperature performance compared to sa 240/a 240 uns s30451 and sa 240/a 240 uns s30453, while offering better corrosion resistance than sa 240/a 240 uns s30500. Its balanced properties make it a versatile choice for demanding environments requiring both strength and corrosion resistance.
Key benefits of ASME SA240/ASTM A240 UNS S30415 stainless steel sheet include:
Case Study: A power generation plant in India used sa 240/a 240 uns s30415 sheets for boiler components, achieving a 25% longer service life compared to sa 240/a 240 uns s30400 due to its enhanced high-temperature strength and corrosion resistance.

ASME SA240/ASTM A240 UNS S30415offers excellent corrosion resistance in mild to moderately aggressive environments, particularly at elevated temperatures. Its 17.0-19.0% chromium and 9.0-11.0% nickel content, combined with 0.12-0.18% nitrogen, provide a robust oxide layer and enhanced pitting resistance, with a pitting resistance equivalent number (PREN) of ~18-20. This makes it suitable for applications like boiler tubes and chemical processing equipment, outperforming sa 240/a 240 uns s30500 and sa 240/a 240 uns s30451. For highly corrosive environments, such as chloride-rich conditions, grades like sa 240/a 240 uns s31254 or sa 240/a 240 uns s31635 are recommended.

The controlled carbon content (0.04-0.10%) of ASME SA240/ASTM A240 UNS S30415 ensures good weldability by reducing the risk of carbide precipitation and intergranular corrosion during welding, making it suitable for welded structures in high-temperature applications. It can be welded using common techniques such as TIG, MIG, and resistance welding, with appropriate filler materials to maintain corrosion resistance and strength. Compared to sa 240/a 240 uns s30409, UNS S30415 offers improved weldability due to its nitrogen enhancement and controlled carbon content. For applications requiring superior weldability, sa 240/a 240 uns s30453 is a viable alternative.
