FAQ: Common Questions About ASME SA240 ASTM A240 UNS S33228 Stainless Steel Sheet

 

What is UNS S33228 stainless steel used for?

UNS S33228(AISI 332) is a superaustenitic grade for high-temperature applications like carburizing furnace parts, heat exchangers, and reformer tubes in petrochemicals. Its high Cr/Ni and Ce addition provide outstanding oxidation resistance up to 1100°C and carburization protection in carbon-rich atmospheres, outperforming 309/310 in severe heat. Gangsteel supplies ASME/ASTM-compliant sheets for vessels and fittings, with proven use in aerospace engine components and thermal processing retorts. For alternatives in moderate heat, see sa240/a240 uns s32906.

What are the differences between UNS S33228 and 310 stainless steel?

UNS S33228surpasses 310 (S31000) with higher Ni (31-33% vs. 19-22%) for better creep/ductility at 1000°C+, plus Nb for sensitization resistance and Ce for enhanced scaling. S33228 UTS 570 MPa vs. 515 MPa, but excels in carburizing (PREN ~30 vs. 25). 310 suits general oxidation; S33228 for aggressive carbon. Gangsteel advises S33228 for furnace upgrades, cutting failures 25%. Equiv: sa240/a240 uns s32950.

Is UNS S33228 stainless steel weldable?

Yes, UNS S33228 welds excellently via GTAW/SMAW using ERNiCr-3 or ENiCrFe-3 fillers; low C (0.04-0.08%) and Nb prevent hot cracking/sensitization. Preheat 100-200°C, post-weld anneal 1050-1150°C for full properties. Avoid fluxes in carburizing. Gangsteel includes weld certs, with tests showing no intergranular attack post-thermal cycling. Detailed guides: sa240/a240 uns s32803.

What is the density of UNS S33228 stainless steel?

ASME SA240 ASTM A240 UNS S33228 stainless steel sheetdensity is 8.0 g/cm³ (0.289 lb/in³), typical for Ni-rich austenitics, enabling lightweight high-temp designs without strength loss. This aids in reducing furnace weight by 10-15% vs. denser alloys. Gangsteel calculates shipping precisely for efficiency.

How much does UNS S33228 stainless steel cost per kg?

Gangsteel prices UNS S33228 at ~$2.60-$3.60/kg for standard sheets (FOB), factoring Ni/Cr premiums; thicker/custom adds 10-20%. Volume (1+ ton) yields 15% discounts. Rates fluctuate with metals; current via admin@gangsteel.com. Vs. 310: 20% higher but longer life. Compare sa240/a240 uns s31200.

Can UNS S33228 be heat treated?

UNS S33228solution anneals at 1050-1150°C (water quench) to restore corrosion resistance post-weld/form; no age hardening, but stress-relieve 800-900°C for creep apps. Avoid slow cooling to prevent sigma phase. Gangsteel offers in-house treatment, ensuring uniform microstructure for 1100°C service. Consult for cycles on sa240/a240 uns s31260.

What certifications are available for Gangsteel UNS S33228 sheets?

Gangsteel's UNS S33228 sheets include EN 10204/3.1 MTCs detailing chemistry/mechanics, PMI/UT reports, and third-party (SGS/BV) verifications for defects/compliance. Full ASME Section II, ASTM A240, and PED docs; ISO 9001 traceability from melt to mill. Custom NACE MR0175 for sour service. Details: sa240/a240 uns s32001.
