UNS S35000 (Alloy 350, Alloy 633) Stainless Steel

S35000 stainless steel is a precipitation-hardening stainless steel formulated for primary forming into wrought products. S35000 is the UNS number for this material. Additionally, the common industry name is Alloy 360.

It can have a moderately high tensile strength among the wrought precipitation-hardening stainless steels in the database.

The properties of S35000 stainless steel include three common variations. This page shows summary ranges across all of them. For more specific values, follow the links immediately below. The graph bars on the material properties cards further below compare S35000 stainless steel to: wrought precipitation-hardening stainless steels (top), all iron alloys (middle), and the entire database (bottom). A full bar means this is the highest value in the relevant set. A half-full bar means it's 50% of the highest, and so on.

Alloy Composition

Among wrought stainless steels, the composition of S35000 stainless steel is notable for containing comparatively high amounts of molybdenum (Mo) and chromium (Cr). Molybdenum is used to facilitate tempering. In addition, it offers modest bonuses to a wide range of material properties. Chromium is the defining alloying element of stainless steel. Higher chromium content imparts additional corrosion resistance.

Iron (Fe)Fe 72.7 to 76.9
Chromium (Cr)Cr 16 to 17
Nickel (Ni)Ni 4.0 to 5.0
Molybdenum (Mo)Mo 2.5 to 3.2
Manganese (Mn)Mn 0.5 to 1.3
Silicon (Si)Si 0 to 0.5
Nitrogen (N)N 0.070 to 0.13
Carbon (C)C 0.070 to 0.11
Phosphorus (P)P 0 to 0.040
Sulfur (S)S 0 to 0.030
