Comparative Study of the Tensile Properties of Type 316 Steel

摘要

The elevated temperature tensile properties data on Type 316 steel from France, Germany, Italy and the UK have been evaluated and compared over the temperature range RT-700 exp 0 C. No significant differences in average properties were found but the lower confidence limits of the French data were significantly higher than those obtained from the other countries. The superior minimum properties of the French steel are attributed to the smaller spread in the data brought about by its narrow specification. (Atomindex citation 14:771208)
