Abstract

The formabilities and tensile properties of stainless steel types 304 and 316 of various grain sizes were measured by means of tensile and compression tests. It was found that variation in grain size had no significant effect on formability, but that the tensile properties of the materials varied slightly. The stress-strain relation for the two steels is described by the Ludwigson equation in a modified form.
