Just wondering if anyone knew if 409 SS becomes brittle if you heat it up to 525 F and then bring it down to ambient temperature.
I'm working on a project were we use 50" x 100" x 0.036" thick 409 SS grids that are heated up to 525 F continously for a long periods of time (days or week)...
Thanks for all the suggestions. I'm currently looking into using the 439 stainless and I'm getting qoutes on Ti. I'm doing more research on Kovar to try to find info on its corrosion characteristics. I'm also exploring ways in which I can allow these sheets to float instead of being restricted...
Thanks for the suggestions! I may have to stick with stainless because I do need the corrosion resistance characteristic. I will definitely check out 439 stainless.
To expand on the application details I'll mention that the sheets are heating in the press at 525 degrees F for long periods of...
Wondering if anyone could help suggest a material for a specific application I have? I'm looking for a material that has a low coefficient of linear expansion that can be bought in sheets of 60" x 110" x 0.036" (thick). The sheet are waterjetted with a pattern and are placed in a press that...
