What is the melting point of stainless steel in celsius?

Answer 1

1500 degrees C
The melting point of pure iron is 2800 degrees F. Stainless steel is iron mixed with other elements. Normally, the purpose of the mixture is to increase the melting point. So I would say stainless steel melts at a temperature higher than 2800 F.

Answer 2

It depends on the type of steel. Steel is an alloy of several different elements, with the main element being iron. In addition, different processing methods also change the properties of the alloy. Cast iron melts at approximately 1,375°C (2,507°F). For more details, you should consult the steel manufacturer about the steel alloy you have on hand to determine its melting point.

Answer 3

This is a meaningless question, because there are lots of different types of "stainless steel", each of which may have a different melting point.

If you're just looking for a ballpark figure, 1800 K is probably the right order of magnitude.

Answer 4

Stainless steels are alloys and therefore do not melt and freeze at a fixed temperature, as do metallic elements, but over a temperature range, depending on the chemical composition of the steel.

Alloy additions also suppress (lower) the melting range. Pure iron (Fe) has a fixed melting point of 1535°C, chromium (Cr) 1890°C and nickel (Ni) 1453°C compared to a range of 1400-1450 °C for type 304 stainless steel.

Answer 5

Short answer: a range of roughly 1330 degrees Celsius to 1530 degrees Celsius

Long answer: as stainless steel is an alloy, it is created in different grades to suit different purposes. Stainless steel type 304 (the most common grade) contains, among iron and other substances, 18.0-20.0% chromium and 8.0-10.5% nickel. This grade has a melting point of 1400 degrees Celsius to 1450 degrees Celsius

Answer 6

There are a variety of stainless steels. Without being more specific about which one, all we can do is estimate a range of 1450 to 1500 degrees C. or something on that order.
