Type 431 Stainless Steel
Hardenable Martensitic Stainless Steel Alloy
Type 431 is a hardenable martensitic stainless steel alloy which
has a combination of high tensile and torsional strength - this
makes it well suited to shaft manufacture.
The alloy is intended for use in applications requiring good
strength and toughness combined with reasonable corrosion
resistance. As the alloy offers considerable resistance to
saltwater corrosion, it is used widely in marine equipment and
systems. Type 431 is easily machined in the annealed state but
welding is difficult due to cracking and it is recommended that the
material is preheated to improve welding performance.
Key Features:
Type 431 stainless steel is a heat treatable martensitic stainless
- the alloy offers high tension and torsional strength and is well
suited in the manufacture of shafts. However, welding is poor and
the material cannot be easily cold worked.

431 STAINLESS UNS S43100
431 stainless was formulated to provide better corrosion resistance
and toughness in a quench- hardenable, stainless steel. It
maintains good strength and corrosion resistance and hardness, in
temperatures from -100 to 1200 degress f (-73/ 650c). It has the
best corrosion resistance of the conventional martensitic stainless
grades.
Applications: 431 stainless is widely used in highly stressed aircraft
components, valves, also pump and pump shafts.

Corrosion Resistance
The following table is for reference only, many factors can affect
the corrosive resistance, a corrosion test for each application
should be applied.
| Phosphoric Acid | Restricted | Acetic Acid | Restricted |
| Sodium Hydroxide | Moderate | Sea Water | Restricted |

| Sulfuric Acid | Restricted | Humidity | Good |
Heat Treatment
Annealing: typical Heat uniformly 1200/1250f (650/677c) remove from furnace and cool
in air. Brinell hardness expected approximately 270. This is the
best condition for overall machining.
Hardening: Heat 1800/1950f (982/1066c) soak at heat, quench in oil. You may
also harden in air.
Tempering: In the range of 700/1050f (371/565c), to achieve desired
mechanical properties. Soak at hest for at least one hour, longer
for larger pieces and cool in air.

Machinability:
431 in the annealed condition can gall and build up on the cutting
tool which can result in poor finishes.
