Development of a bismuth austenitic stainless steel

Project Information

Grant agreement ID: 7210-MA-935

Project closed

Start date 1 July 1990

End date 30 June 1993

Funded under

• Medium-term guidelines (ECSC) "technical steel research", 1986-1990

Total cost € 566 500,00

EU contribution € 339 900,00

Coordinated by

Objective

It is planned to use bismuth as a substitute for sulpur, selenium or lead, to improve the machinability of austenitic stainless steel, while maintaining corrosion resistance, hot workability and neutrality (food industry). The selection of the best Bi+S range will result from laboratory heats. Bars and wire rods manufactured from industrial heats will be tested in the as-rolled and cold drawn conditions.
