Characteristics of stainless steel deformation

Thread Content

Deformation characteristics of stainless steel: Stainless steel has a high resistance to deformation, generally twice that of ordinary carbon steel； Since deformed martensite is formed during cold working, the work hardening rate is high, requiring greater rolling capacity and load. Stainless steel has poor thermal conductivity; for example, the thermal conductivity of 321 stainless steel is only 27% that of carbon steel. Therefore, rolling mills need to have stronger cooling capabilities. High requirements are placed on dimensional accuracy and sheet flatness, as well as edge quality. Stainless steel cold rolling must be carried out with high efficiency and high precision; the most critical requirement for cold rolling mills is ； 1. It is capable of producing wide and thin strip products, with fewer rolling passes required and a shorter rolling time ； 2. The total reduction rate should be high, especially the first reduction rate; efforts should be made to complete the rolling process in a single pass without intermediate annealing ； 3. Ensure product dimensional accuracy, as well as good plate shape and surface quality. Jiangsu Xinbaifa Stainless Steel Co., Ltd. WWW.xbfbxg.com
