Description

UGI® S302 is the grade conventionally used to manufacture stainless steel springs. This grade offers good corrosion resistance and can be used at temperature levels close to 250°C. Springs in UGI® S302 have good fatigue strength and low relaxation compared with carbon steels.

For springs used in corrosive environments, UGI® S302 makes it possible to avoid the surface protection needed on carbon steel springs. To adapt to various cold transformation conditions, Ugitech has developed several versions of UGI® S302, such as UGI® S302-1, UGI® S302-2, and UGI® S302-6 to cover several CWH values (Cold Work Hardening factors). For applications which require high dynamic fatigue performances, a special grade is available on request: UGI® S302 HFS (HFS for High Fatigue Strength).


These Rm values are in conformance with the standard mechanical strength range indicated in Euronorm EN 10270-3 for grade 1.4310 (NS). The Rp 0.2 values are given as an indication.

The Rm/Rp 0.2 ratio on spring wires in UGI® S302 is generally around 0.9.

The range of strength (Rm) values is generally contained

  • within a manufacturing batch, at 100 MPa;
  • within a packaging unit (cable drums, coils, rims) at 60 Mpa.


    The grade's magnetic permeability (µr) is heavily influenced by cold transformation of the material. In the solu-tion-annealed and non-cold-worked state, µr is less than 1.02, but in the cold-worked state with spring-wire properties, it can rise to a maximum of 10.

    Technological properties

    Property
    Application areas

  • Torsion bars, torsion springs
  • Compression springs
  • Draw spring

  • Cold Forming

    Drawing – Profiling: Like all high-carbon grade austenitic steels, UGI® S302 is hardened significantly during cold transformation. However, it has good ductility, with a potential reduction in cross section of up to 90% or more.


    Bending – Forming: UGI® S302 is a grade that is ductile even in the cold-worked state: its suitability for forming and bending is very good. Since the ductile/fragile transition temperature is far lower than ambient temperature, fast strain rates are possible, which means it is possible to have high spring conformation rates.

    Corrosion properties

    UGI® S302 has good corrosion resistance in moderately corrosive environments. It is widely used in humid or aqueous environments with a limited chloride content. The use of UGI® S302 in marine environments should be avoided, especially in its drawn spring-wire version.

    Heat Treatment

    Springs' mechanical strength can be increased up to 250 Mpa (depending on the diameter) by heat treatment performed on the springs. The Rp0.2/Rm ratio can increase by 5% after such a treatment.


    Static treatment: Static treatment temp.: 350/425°C, Recommended duration 0.5 to 4 hours depending on batch size

    Treatment in continuous oven: Heat treatment temp.: 25°C higher than in, Min. treatment duration: 3 minutes

    Hot forming

    UGI® S302 has good hot forgeability. Forging temperatures are between 900°C and 1100°C. Once forged, the parts must be cooled swiftly, i.e. chilled in water to avoid problems of sensitization of the grade to poten-tial grain-boundary corrosion
