FAQ: Common Questions About ASME SA240 ASTM A240 UNS S33400 Stainless Steel Sheet

 

What is UNS S33400 stainless steel used for?

UNS S33400(AISI 334/Incoloy 840) is a Ti/Al-stabilized austenitic stainless steel for high-temperature applications like furnace expansion joints, heat exchanger tubes, and pressure vessel components in petrochemical and aerospace. Its stabilization prevents sensitization during welding/heat exposure, offering scaling resistance up to 900°C in oxidizing/carburizing atmospheres, superior to 321 SS in continuous service. Gangsteel provides ASME/ASTM sheets for vessels/fittings, with real-world use in reformer tubes reducing downtime 20%. Alternatives: sa240/a240 uns s32950.

What are the differences between UNS S33400 and 321 stainless steel?

UNS S33400improves on 321 (S32100) with dual Ti/Al stabilization for better high-temp scaling (up to 900°C vs. 870°C) and reduced carbide precipitation, plus higher Si (≤1% vs. 0.8%) for oxide adherence. S33400 UTS 515 MPa matches 321, but excels in creep at 800°C+; 321 suits intermittent heat, S33400 continuous. Cost: S33400 15% higher but extends life 25%. Gangsteel recommends for furnace upgrades. Equiv: sa240/a240 uns s32803.

Is UNS S33400 stainless steel weldable?

Yes, UNS S33400 welds readily with GTAW/SMAW using ER321 or E347 fillers; Ti/Al minimize sensitization, no post-weld anneal needed for most, but optional 1050°C for optimization. Preheat 100°C, interpass <150°C to avoid cracking. Tests show no intergranular corrosion post-thermal cycle. Gangsteel supplies weld certs, supporting thick-plate fabrication with low distortion. Guides: sa240/a240 uns s31200.

What is the density of UNS S33400 stainless steel?

ASME SA240 ASTM A240 UNS S33400 stainless steel sheetdensity is 8.0 g/cm³ (0.289 lb/in³), akin to austenitics, facilitating 10-15% lighter designs vs. ferritics in heat apps without strength trade-off. This optimizes furnace efficiency. Gangsteel integrates in logistics for cost savings.

How much does UNS S33400 stainless steel cost per kg?

Gangsteel: ~$2.40-$3.25/kg standard sheets (FOB), driven by Ti/Al; custom/thick +15%. 1+ ton: 15% off. Metals volatility applies; latest via admin@gangsteel.com. Vs. 321: 10% premium for stability. Compare sa240/a240 uns s31260.

Can UNS S33400 be heat treated?

UNS S33400solution anneals 1050-1120°C (quench) to dissolve carbides, restoring resistance; Ti/Al stabilize, no aging needed, but stress-relieve 650-800°C for formed parts. Avoid 425-900°C prolonged to prevent sigma. Gangsteel treats in-house, verifying via micro for 900°C service. Cycles on sa240/a240 uns s32001.

What certifications are available for Gangsteel UNS S33400 sheets?

Gangsteel's UNS S33400 sheets feature EN 10204/3.1 MTCs (chem/mech), PMI/UT, third-party (SGS/BV) for integrity/ASME/ASTM/PED. ISO 9001 full traceability; optional NACE MR0175 for sour. Supports vessel code stamping. More: sa240/a240 uns s32003.
