UGI® S302 Solution Anealed

UGI® S302 Solution Anealed introduction

UGI® S302 is the grade conventionally used to manufacture stainless steel springs. This grade offers good corrosion resistance and can be used at temperature levels close to 250°C. Springs in UGI® S302 have good fatigue strength and low relaxation compared with carbon steels.

For springs used in corrosive environments, UGI® S302 makes it possible to avoid the surface protection needed on carbon steel springs. To adapt to various cold transformation conditions, Ugitech has developed several versions of UGI® S302, such as UGI® S302-1, UGI® S302-2, and UGI® S302-6 to cover several CWH values (Cold Work Hardening factors). For applications which require high dynamic fatigue performances, a special grade is available on request: UGI® S302 HFS (HFS for High Fatigue Strength).


These Rm values are in conformance with the standard mechanical strength range indicated in Euronorm EN 10270-3 for grade 1.4310 (NS). The Rp 0.2 values are given as an indication.

The Rm/Rp 0.2 ratio on spring wires in UGI® S302 is generally around 0.9.

The range of strength (Rm) values is generally contained

within a manufacturing batch, at 100 MPa;

within a packaging unit (cable drums, coils, rims) at 60 Mpa.

The grade's magnetic permeability (µr) is heavily influenced by cold transformation of the material. In the solu-tion-annealed and non-cold-worked state, µr is less than 1.02, but in the cold-worked state with spring-wire properties, it can rise to a maximum of 10.

Equivalent material: DIN 1.4310, EN 1.4310, DIN X9CrNi18-8, EN X9CrNi18-8, AISI 302, UNS S30200, JIS SUS302
