Stainless Steel Type416
is a chromium grade of stainless steel. It is similar to type 410 but it
differs by the addition of phosphorus and sulfur to produce free machining
Steel. This modification helps makes it one of the most readily machinable
stainless steel. Like other stainless steels types it is resistant to
atmosphere, food acids, and neutral basic salts. Conventional heat treating
methods produces a variety of mechanical properties in Type 416. Type 416 has a
tensile strength of 85,000-120,000 psi. The steel is magnetic in all
conditions, excellent machining characteristics and poor welding properties and
meets the aircraft industry standards. Typically it is used where type 410 is
need but with the addition of free machining properties.
