UNS S35135 (Alloy 864) Stainless Steel

S35135 stainless steel is a superaustenitic (highly alloyed) stainless steel formulated for primary forming into wrought products. Cited properties are appropriate for the annealed condition. S35135 is the UNS number for this material. Alloy 864 is the common industry name.

It has a fairly high embodied energy among wrought superaustenitic stainless steels. In addition, it has a moderately high base cost and a moderately low ductility.

The graph bars on the material properties cards below compare S35135 stainless steel to: wrought superaustenitic 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 S35135 stainless steel is notable for containing a comparatively high amount of nickel (Ni) and including titanium (Ti). Nickel is primarily used to achieve a specific microstructure. In addition, it has a beneficial effect on mechanical properties and certain types of corrosion. Titanium is used to broadly improve mechanical properties.

Iron (Fe)Fe 28.3 to 45
Nickel (Ni)Ni 30 to 38
Chromium (Cr)Cr 20 to 25
Molybdenum (Mo)Mo 4.0 to 4.8
Silicon (Si)Si 0.6 to 1.0
Titanium (Ti)Ti 0.4 to 1.0
