"heat treating SS 316 L"
Question:
"We manufacture
ss 316 L bearing balls. What should be the temperature for solution
annealing. More important, does it have to be done in a nuetral
atmosphere, or having methanol or acetone is Okay. Is passivation
necessary after annealing as with methanol a carbon layer forms
on surface of ball leading to failure in salt spray test? "
Answer:
A common solution annealing temperature for 316SS is approximately 1950F. It is difficult to answer your question regarding the need to passivate after solution annealing, based on lack of knowledge regarding specification and customer requirements.
