Help: What material is 214 stainless steel? What performance?
It seems this material is not common; it should be 314.
I’m not sure if you’re referring to S21400; if so, please refer to the following composition: C: 0.12% ； Mn: 14–16%, Cr: 17–18.5%, Ni: 1%; other impurity elements such as P and S are the same as those in other steel grades.
I’m not sure if you’re referring to 314. 314 belongs to austenitic stainless steel, and its chemical composition is: C Max: 0.25%； Mn Max: 2.00% ； P Max: 0.045% ； S Max: 0.030% ； Si: Max: 1.50–3.00% ； Cr: 23.00–26.00% ； Ni: 19.00–22.00%.
Stainless steel exhibits good corrosion resistance in many media, but it may corrode in other media due to its low chemical stability. Therefore, a single type of stainless steel cannot be resistant to corrosion in all media. Among its many industrial applications, stainless steel offers corrosion resistance that satisfies modern demands. Based on practical experience, apart from mechanical failure, the corrosion of stainless steel mainly manifests as follows: a severe form of corrosion in stainless steel is local corrosion (i.e., stress corrosion cracking, pitting corrosion, intergranular corrosion, corrosion fatigue, and crevice corrosion). Failure cases caused by these localized corrosions account for almost more than half of all failure cases. In fact, many failure accidents can be avoided through proper material selection.
