446 Stainless Steel, Soft Tempered Wire
Categories:	Metal; Ferrous Metal; Stainless Steel; T 400 Series Stainless Steel
Material Notes:	Properties below for 6.4 mm (1/4 in.) diameter wire. The excellent corrosion resistance of this non-hardenable, ferritic stainless is due to the high chromium content. This allows use in applications such as heaters, burners, nozzles, electrodes, and metal-ceramic seals. Typical annealing temperatures are 730-815°C; followed by air or water quench.
Key Words:	ASME SA268; ASTM A176; ASTM A276; ASTM A314; ASTM A473; ASTM A511; ASTM A580, UNS S44600; FED QQ-S-763; FED QQ-S-766; Mil Spec MIL-S-862; SAE J405 (51466)
