405 Stainless Steel Sheet

405(UNS S40500)The chromium content in grade 405 stainless steel is 12%. The below datasheet provides an overview of grade 405 stainless steel.

 

Grade 405 stainless steel is soaked at 649-760°C (1200-1400°F) and then cooled in air.

 

Shielded fusion and resistance methods are recommended for welding grade 405 stainless steel. Oxyacetylene welding is not suitable for this stainless steel grade. Hardening of grade 405 stainless steel is controlled by the use of 405 Cb electrodes that contain columbium. Ductility of 405 stainless steel is maximized by post weld annealing.

 

Grade 405 stainless steel is soaked at 817-871°C (1500-1600°F) and the temperature is then increased to 1038-1121°C (1900-2050°F). Forging below 816°C (1500°F) is not recommended for this stainless steel grade. Forging is followed by air cooling and finally annealing.

 

Usage of forming techniques enable grade 405 stainless steel to be easily spun, drawn and formed.

 

Standard methods are used to carry out the machiniability process for grade 405 stainless steel.

 

Grade 405 stainless steel can be hardened by soaking at 982-1010°C (1800-1850°F) and then oil quenched.
