Alloys with a moderate resistance to stress-corrosion cracking The data given here is for information only. This table is divided according to the type of alloy. These types are : Steel alloys, Aluminium alloys, Miscellaneous alloys Table II - Steel Alloys Alloy | Condition | Carbon steel (1000 series) Low-alloy steel (4130,4340 etc) Nitronic
32 Nitronic 60 400 series Martensitic stainless steel (403, 410, 416, 431) PH 13-8 Mo stainless steel 15-5 PH stainless steel 17-4 PH stainless steel | 125 to 140 kg/mm2 UTS 125 to 140 kg/mm2
UTS All All (1) All Below H1000 (2) All | 1) Tempering between 370 and 600C should be avoided because corrosion and stress-corrosion resistance is lowered. 2) H1000 = hardened above 538C (1000F).

| As cast As cast | 1) Mechanically stress relieved products (TX5X or TX5XX) should be specified where possible. 2) Sheet, unmachined extrusion and unmachined plate are the most resistant forms.
3) Except for controlled tempers listed in footnote 3 of Table I, aluminium alloys. These alloys are not recommended for high-temperature applications. 66C (150F) and above. (E) ESA classification - not in NASA MSFC-SPEC-522A.
