Abstract
An austenitic stainless steel which in solution treated condition exhibits excellent strength, hardness, and resistance to oxidation and sulfidation at elevated temperature, comprises from about 0.20 to about 0.50% carbon, about 0.01 to about 3.0% manganese, about 18 to about 35% chromium, about 0.01 to about 15% nickel, about 0.30 to about 1.0% nitrogen, about 0.10% maximum phosphorus, about 0.40% maximum sulfur, about 2% maximum silicon, up to about 0.75% cerium, and remainder substantially iron. Manganese is preferably restricted to a maximum of about 2.5% in combination with a preferred minimum chromium content of 21%. The steel has particular utility for fabrication into valves and valve parts for high performance diesel engines and gasoline engines, wherein exhaust valve temperatures are encountered within the range of about 1100.degree. to about 1600.degree. F and higher.
