Chemical Compositions of AISI (ASTM/ASME) and UNS Duplex Stainless Steel Grades

Chemical Compositions of AISI (ASTM/ASME) and UNS Duplex Stainless Steel Grades

Chemical composition of AISI (ASTM / ASME) and UNS duplex-stainless steel grade
Most ASTM and ASME standards list the steel grades by their UNS, (Unified Numbering system),
numbers but also make reference, where appropriate to the more general AISI, (American Iron and Steel Institute),
grade designations. These grade numbering systems are widely used in the USA, where they originated and are
recognised by most stainless steel specifiers and users. In Japan the AISI grade number is preceded by SUS,
but this is not usually the case with duplex grades. The chemical compositions of stainless steel grades covered
in this article include AISI / common grade names XM-26, 44LN, DP3, 3RE60, 2205, UR45N, 2304, Uranus 50,
Uranus 52N+, Ferralium 255, 2507, Zeron 100, 329, 44L, 453S 7Mo Plus DP3W, AF918 and UNS grades S31100,
S31200, S31260, S31500, S31803, S32001, S32003, S32101, S32205, S32304, S32404, S32520, S32550, S32750,

CHEMICAL COMPOSITIONS OF AISI (ASTM/ASME) AND UNS DUPLEX STAINLESS STEEL GRADES
Introduction – AISI ASTM ASME and UNS
Most ASTM and ASME standards list the steel grades by their UNS, (Unified Numbering system), numbers, but also
make reference, where appropriate to the more general AISI, (American Iron and Steel Institute), grade designations.
These grade numbering systems are widely used in the USA, where they originated, and are recognised by most
stainless steel specifiers and users.
The American Iron and Steel Institute, (AISI), developed designations such as 304, 430 etc. and published compositions
for these in their ‘Steel Products Manual’, (1974).
These are NOT specifications, but steel grade composition ranges only.
These grades were used by the American Society Testing and Materials, (ASTM), to identify grades in a wide range of
standards they published for stainless products, such as sheets and plates, (ASTM A240), bars, (ASTM A276) and tubes, (ASTM A269).
The compositions of the AISI grades were made more specific with the introduction of the ‘Unified Numbering System’,
jointly established by ASTM and SAE, (Society of Automotive Engineers).
This five digit number, preceded by the letter ‘S’ for most stainless steels, identified the specific variant of the grade

e.g. 2205 being UNS S31803, (or S32205)

American Society of Mechanical Engineers, (ASME), publish design codes and standards for pressure applications.
ASME standards are generally based on the appropriate ASTM standards, but the standard numbers are preceded with the
letters ‘SA’, rather than just the ‘A’ of the ASTM standards.
Where UNS grade numbers are used, these are universal, regardless of the product type or the standard in which they appear.

The AISI designations have been adopted in Japan. The AISI number is preceded with the letters SUS, but this is not usually
the case with duplex grades.
The composition ranges should always be checked in the appropriate standard.

Composition tables
The tables in this article use the UNS number as their key, but also show the related AISI and SAE numbers. Where appropriate,
common names for the steels are also shown.
As an alternative to scanning down the list try the ‘find’ facility on your keyboard, using the ‘Ctrl’ and ‘F’ keys together. Type in the
term you are looking for in the dialog box that then appears.
The data given is not intended to replace that shown in individual standards to which reference should always be made.
