Why Choose ASME SA240/ASTM A240 UNS S44635 Stainless Steel Sheet?

 

ASME SA240/ASTM A240 UNS S44635, a super-ferritic stainless steel, features 25.0-27.0% chromium, 3.5-4.5% molybdenum, 3.5-4.5% nickel, and niobium/titanium stabilization, delivering outstanding corrosion resistance, good weldability, and enhanced strength. Designed for severe corrosive and high-temperature environments, such as chemical reactors and heat exchangers, it benefits from stabilization and low carbon content (≤ 0.025%) to prevent carbide precipitation during welding, outperforming non-stabilized grades like sa240/a240 uns s43000. Its ferritic structure ensures excellent scaling resistance up to 1050°C (1922°F).

Gangsteel highlights that UNS S44635 offers superior corrosion resistance compared to sa240/a240 uns s41008 due to higher chromium, molybdenum, and nickel content, and it is competitive with super-ferritic grades like sa240/a240 uns s44700. Its enhanced strength makes it ideal for demanding applications.

Key benefits include:

  • Outstanding Corrosion Resistance: High chromium (25.0-27.0%) and molybdenum (3.5-4.5%) ensure exceptional performance in corrosive environments, surpassing sa240/a240 uns s42900.

FAQ

 

Q: How does UNS S44635 compare to UNS S44400 in terms of corrosion resistance and strength?

A: UNS S44635, with 25.0-27.0% chromium, 3.5-4.5% molybdenum, and 3.5-4.5% nickel, offers superior corrosion resistance (PREN ~36.0-40.5) and higher strength (tensile strength ≥ 550 MPa) compared to sa240/a240 uns s44400 (PREN ~20.5-24.5, tensile strength ≥ 415 MPa). Its higher alloy content makes it ideal for severe corrosive environments like chemical processing, while UNS S44400 suits milder conditions like automotive exhausts.

Q: Is UNS S44635 suitable for chemical processing applications, and how does it compare to UNS S41003?

A: Yes, sa240/a240 uns s44635 is highly suitable for chemical processing due to its outstanding corrosion resistance and high-temperature stability up to 1050°C (1922°F). Compared to sa240/a240 uns s41003, which has lower chromium (10.5-12.5%) and no molybdenum, UNS S44635 offers significantly better corrosion resistance, making it ideal for harsh environments, while UNS S41003 is better for structural applications.

Q: What is the price difference between UNS S44635 and UNS S44700, and what drives this difference?

A: UNS S44635 is priced at USD 4.5-6.5 per kg (FOB), approximately 10-15% less expensive than sa240/a240 uns s44700 (USD 5-7.5 per kg) due to differences in alloy content and processing complexity. UNS S44700 has higher chromium (28.0-30.0%) and stricter impurity controls, increasing its cost. Factors like market demand, raw material availability, and production scale also influence the price difference.
