AUSTENITIC STAINLESS STEEL

AISI 332

AISI 332 is listed in the AUSTENITIC STAINLESS STEEL material family. The reference data below should be checked against the governing product specification, product form and delivery condition before selection or certification.

AISI 332
MATERIAL INTRODUCTION

AISI 332

The reference chemistry table for AISI 332 lists Chromium (Cr): High-temperature oxidation/corrosion resistance; Nickel (Ni): Austenite stabilization and high-temperature performance; Silicon / molybdenum (Si / Mo): May be present depending on grade. Confirm exact limits and analysis tolerances against the governing standard and product form.

The mechanical-property table for AISI 332 lists Tensile Strength: Condition and product-form dependent —; Yield Strength: Condition and product-form dependent —; Elongation: Condition and product-form dependent %; Hardness: Grade and condition dependent —. These are reference entries; supplied condition, dimensions, test method and governing specification control the requirements, and the figures are not design allowables.

No one-to-one Werkstoff number was verified for AISI 332 in the cross-reference sources checked for this update. Confirm any proposed EN alternative against the governing specification.
