What is V4A steel?

The name V4A is an old term and stands for chrome-nickel steel with molybdenum addition. Searching for chrome-nickel steel, the Krupp company developed among other materials this steel grade with an austenitic microstructure.

What does V2A stand for?

The description V2A was born in 1912 when the stainless steel grade 1.4300 was melted. This former grade is no longer in use but the denomination remains current for the current austenitic stainless steel grades 1.4301, 1.4307 and 1.4305 as well. V2A stands for the “test melt 2 austenite”.

What is V4a steel?

The name V4A is an old term and stands for chrome-nickel steel with molybdenum addition. Searching for chrome-nickel steel, the Krupp company developed among other materials this steel grade with an austenitic microstructure.

Is 316L the same as V4a?

Low-carbon versions, for example 316L or 304L, are used to avoid corrosion problems caused by welding So yes, you can say 316 and V4A are the same in performance to what they accomplish as resistance against salt spray. However the composition of the base material is not the same.

What is another name for A4 stainless steel?

Many alternative names exist for A4 stainless steel. For example, names such as AISI 316 or V4A can also be found for A4. After all, however, despite its different names, it is always the same stainless steel: a non-corrosive high-grade steel with good acid and corrosion resistance properties.

Are V1A and V2A fasteners the same?

However the composition of the base material is not the same. There might be some percentage difference. (see steel name) V2A is similar to 1.4301 or aisi 304. V1A is similar to 1.4305 or aisi 303 (see seperate blog) Anemo Engineering is a specialist in advising the best fastener for your application.

What is 1. 4571?

1.4571 is a stainless, austenitic chromium-nickel-molybdenum steel stabilized with titanium. When high temperature strengths are required, the 1.4571 is used as an alternative than for example the material 1.4404.

Does 316L stainless steel rust?

Stainless steel is not that it cannot rust, but it is not easy to rust. 316 stainless steel will rust after a long time. Due to the addition of Mo element, 316 stainless steel has greatly improved its corrosion resistance and high temperature resistance.

What does 316Ti mean?

316Ti (UNS S31635) is a titanium stabilised version of 316 molybdenum-bearing austenitic stainless steel. The 316 alloys are more resistant to general corrosion and pitting/crevice corrosion than the conventional chromium-nickel austenitic stainless steels such as 304.

What is Va steel?

VA steel = chromium-nickel stainless steels, these are. Werkstoff Material NR. 1.4301, of 1,4305, 1,4306, 1,4541. VA steel = chrome nickel molybdenum steel, these are. Werkstoff Material NR.

What does 316L stand for?

316/316L Stainless Steel: The ‘L’ Designation The L denotes the low content of carbon in the steel. 316L is best known among fabricators for being resistant to cracks after the weld process is completed. This makes 316L the preferred choice of fabricators who look to build metallic structures for industry applications.

What does the L stand for in 316L steel?

low content
Type 316 stainless steel is manufactured in another grade due to its widespread potential and it is differentiated by using the letter ‘L’ in its designation. The L denotes the low content of carbon in the steel. 316L is best known among fabricators for being resistant to cracks after the weld process is completed.
