Applications
Sanmac® 4305 is a good choice for components where high machinability is needed, but where corrosion resistance and high stresses are not a concern.
Corrosion resistance
General corrosion
Sanmac® 4305 has good resistance to:
- Organic acids at moderate temperatures, with the exception of formic acid
- Sulphates, sulphides and sulphites
- Caustic solutions at moderate temperatures
- Oxidizing acids like nitric acid
Intergranular corrosion
Sanmac® 4305 has a low carbon content and therefore good resistance to intergranular corrosion.
Stress corrosion cracking
Austenitic steels are susceptible to stress corrosion cracking. This may occur at temperatures above about 60°C (140°F) if the steel is subjected to tensile stresses and at the same time comes into contact with certain solutions, particularly those containing chlorides. In applications demanding high resistance to stress corrosion cracking the austenitic-ferritic steels SAF 2304®, Alleima® 10RE51 or Sanmac® 2205 have higher resistance to stress corrosion cracking than 4305.
Pitting and crevice corrosion
The steel may be sensitive to pitting and crevice corrosion even in solutions of relatively low chloride content. Molybdenum-alloyed steels have better resistance and the resistance improves with increasing molybdenum content.

Welding
Welding of Sanmac® 4305 should be carried out with filler material under carefully control due to Sulphur addition in the material. Suitable methods of fusion welding are manual metal-arc welding (MMA/SMAW) and gas-shielded arc welding, with the TIG/GTAW method as first choice.
For Sanmac® 4305, heat input of <1.0 kJ/mm and interpass temperature of <100°C (210°F) are recommended.

Machining
Sanmac is our trademark for the Alleima machinability concept. In SANMAC materials, machinability has been improved without jeopardising properties such as corrosion resistance and mechanical strength.
The improved machinability is owing to:
- optimised non-metallic inclusions
- optimal chemical composition
- optimised process and production parameters
Detailed recommendations for the choice of tools and cutting data regarding turning, thread cutting, parting/grooving, drilling, milling and sawing are provided in the brochure S-02909-ENG.
The diagram shows the ranges within which data should be chosen in order to obtain a tool life of minimum 10 minutes when machining austenitic SANMAC materials (304/304L, 316/316L).

The ranges are limited in the event of low feeds because of unacceptable chip breaking. In the case of high cutting speeds, plastic deformation is the most dominant cause of failure. When feed increases and the cutting speed falls, edge frittering (chipping) increases significantly. The diagram is applicable for short cutting times. For long, continuous cuts, the cutting speeds should be reduced somewhat.
The lowest recommended cutting speed is determined by the tendency of the material to stick to the insert (built-up-edge), although the integrity of insert clamping and the stability of the machine are also of great significance.
It is important to conclude which wear mechanism is active, in order to optimise cutting data with the aid of the diagram.
