AISI 416Se
MATERIAL INTRODUCTION

AISI 416Se

The reference chemistry table for AISI 416Se lists Chromium (Cr): Typically about 11–18% depending on grade; Carbon (C): Controls hardenability and attainable hardness; grade dependent; Nickel/Molybdenum (Ni/Mo): Present in selected grades to tune toughness or corrosion resistance; Sulfur/Selenium (S/Se): Present in free-machining variants such as AISI 416/416Se. Confirm exact limits and analysis tolerances against the governing standard and product form.

The mechanical-property table for AISI 416Se lists Tensile Strength: Approx. 650–1500 MPa; Yield Strength: Approx. 400–1200 MPa; Elongation: Approx. 5–25 %; Hardness: Approx. 180–500 HB HB. These are reference entries; supplied condition, dimensions, test method and governing specification control the requirements, and the figures are not design allowables.

Werkstoff / EN cross-reference for AISI 416Se: 1.4005. This comparison does not guarantee interchangeability; confirm chemistry, product form and condition against the governing specification.

WHY SELECT THIS MATERIAL

Material Characteristics

AISI 416Se combines the characteristics of its stainless-steel family with grade-specific alloying and heat-treatment behavior suited to its intended service.

01

Heat Treatable Strength

Martensitic stainless grades can be hardened and tempered to achieve useful strength.

02

Wear Resistance

Higher-carbon grades such as 440A/440B/440C can reach high hardness.

03

Corrosion Resistance

Provides useful general corrosion resistance, generally below austenitic grades in severe chloride service.

04

Machinability Options

Free-machining variants improve cutting performance but require attention to corrosion and toughness trade-offs.
