In addition to imparting high electrical resistivity, the aluminum content in these iron-13% chromium-aluminum resistance alloys also provides oxidation resistance. These alloys are capable of resisting oxidation for continuous duty at temperatures up to 1800°F (982°C), and are satisfactory for intermittent heating in temperatures from 1800°F (982°C) to 1900°F (1038°C). These Ohmaloy resistance alloy are classified as UNS K91470 and K91670. These are covered in ASTM B603 as Types IV and III, respectively. Ohmaloy® 30 and Ohmaloy® 40 alloys are used in many applications requiring dissipation of electrical energy. Some examples are grid resistors for mine locomotives, crane starters and, the largest application, braking resistors for railroad diesel locomotives. These alloys are used where the application demands heavy-duty resistors with a small surface-to-volume ratio. They can also be used in applications where resistance heating is required.

This difference permits the design engineer to select the optimum characteristics for the application. Ohmaloy® 30 alloy parts can achieve, with lighter cross-sectional areas, the same linear resistance of similar parts fabricated from the Ohmaloy® 40 alloy. Some applications, however, require larger mass to assist in the dissipation of heat or in preventing thermal deformations during heating and cooling cycles. In these instances, the higher aluminum Ohmaloy® 40 alloy is used. Nominally, the room temperature specific resistivity of Ohmaloy® 30 alloy is 107 microhm-cm (505 ohm sq-mil/ft). Ohmaloy® 40 alloy has a nominal room temperature specific resistivity of 116 microhm-cm (550 ohm sq-mil/ft). The change in resistivity of Ohmaloy® 30 and 40 steels with increasing temperature is characterized in the following graph. By comparison, other ferritic stainless steels such as AL 400 HPTM have resistivities in the 60 microhm-cm range. 68°F (20°C) Ohmaloy® 30 Ohmaloy® 40 microhm-cm 107 116 ohm sq-mil/ft 505 550 Data are typical, are provided for informational purposes, and should not be construed as maximum or minimum values for specification or for final design, or for a particular use or application.

During the fabrication process, it may be necessary to restore the annealed properties after cold work. The alloys are annealed using temperatures from 1600-1650°F (871-899°C) for one hour per inch of thickness followed by air cooling. CORROSION RESISTANCE In many corrosive environments, the corrosion resistance of Ohmaloy® 30 and Ohmaloy® 40 alloys is comparable to Type 409 stainless steel. In many cases, they have corrosion resistance comparable to Type 430.

VERSION 1 (3/19/2013): PAGE 5 of 5 Allegheny Technologies Incorporated 1000 Six PPG Place Pittsburgh, PA 15222-5479 U.S.A. www.ATImetals.com Technical Data Sheet OHMALOY® 30 and OHMALOY® 40 OXIDATION RESISTANCE Iron-chromium-aluminum alloys, like Ohmaloy® 30 and Ohmaloy® 40, are the most oxidation resistant iron-based alloys available. They have exceptional oxidation resistance in both continuous and cyclic temperature exposure. The aluminum content provides a tightly adhering alumina protective oxide, and the titanium addition enhances spalling resistance. Coupled with the excellent adhesion of the alumina-oxide, the lower thermal expansion rate of ferritic alloys, as compared to austenitic alloys, further limits spalling during thermal cycling. The higher aluminum content in Ohmaloy® 40 provides a slightly higher cyclic oxidation threshold of 1900°F (1037°C) than Ohmaloy® 30 alloy. WELDABILITY Ohmaloy® 30 and 40 alloys have characteristics similar to other ferritic stainless steels and have been welded using standard welding procedures. Being ferritic up to the melting point, they are not hardenable and are not prone to cracking during cooling. Because of the stabilization of carbon as titanium carbonitrides, sensitization is not a concern and post weld annealing is not necessary. When Ohmaloy steel is joined to other stainless alloys, the use of low carbon stainless (Types 304L or 316L), or stabilized grades (Type 321), with low carbon stabilized weld-wire (Type 308) is suggested. LINEAR RESISTANCE REQUIREMENTS Generally, Ohmaloy steels are sold based upon a customer’s linear resistance requirements. For any given slit-to-width size and gage, the linear resistance (W/ft.) is guaranteed. Two levels of linear resistance tolerance are available, either the standard ±8%, or ±5%. The ±5% tolerance is available at an additional cost, and is achieved by adjustment of the nominal cold-rolled gage to maintain the desirable linear- resistance limits. This flexibility is required because each heat, when melted, deviates slightly from the nominal specific resistivity. To calculate the required linear resistance from the specific resistivity of the melted alloy, the following basic electrical equations are followed. For a conductor through which a steady state current flows, resistance R is proportional to the length  and inversely proportional to the area of the cross section of the conductor A or: resistance = R = ρ /A where the proportionality ρ (rho) is called the specific resistivity. Therefore, knowing the resistivity of the master heat of Ohmaloy® 30 or 40 steel, the resistance of a given conductor of that material having a uniform cross section can be calculated. Resistivity is an intrinsic material property and is used to calculate linear resistance: linear resistance – R/ R/ = ρ /A = ρ/(wt) where w is the width and t, the thickness.
