scope:

This report is essentially a graphical summary of elevated-temperature data for the commercially produced stainless steels. Included are summary curves for tensile strength, 0.2 per cent offset yield strength, per cent elongation, per cent reduction of area, stresses for rupture in 100, 1000, 10,000, and 100,000 hr, and stress for creep rates 0.0001 and 0.00001 per cent per hr (1 per cent in 10,000 and 100,000 hr).

An Appendix is included, which contains the primary data from which the summary curves were drawn. The data sheets in the Appendix also give the chemical composition, processing data, and other pertinent information about the steels included in this survey.
