An austenitic stainless steel having excellent galling resistance by reason of a silicon-containing surface oxide film and a high work hardening rate, good wear resistance, good corrosion resistance in chloride-containing environments, and excellent oxidation resistance, containing 10 to 25 percent chromium, 3 to 15 percent nickel, 6 to 16 percent manganese, 2 to 7 percent silicon, 0.001 to 0.25 percent carbon, 0.001 to 0.4 percent nitrogen, and balance iron except for incidental impurities. Up to 4 percent molybdenum, up to 4 percent copper, 0.09 percent maximum phosphorus, up to 0.25 percent maximum sulfur and up to 0.50 percent maximum selenium may be present. The steel is readily workable on ordinary equipment into plate, sheet, strip, bar, rod and like wrought products. |
