S33400 is a nickel-chromium-iron austenitic heat-resistant alloy with titanium and aluminium additions. This datasheet presents the material within the American (ASTM / ASME / UNS) standard system.
Classed as an austenitic stainless steel but distinguished from standard chromium-nickel grades by its higher nickel content, S33400 contains enough chromium to form and maintain a protective chromium-oxide (Cr₂O₃) scale that gives it markedly better oxidation resistance at high temperature than conventional 18-8 stainless steels such as 304. The titanium and aluminium additions further stabilise the structure and enhance high-temperature performance, and the alloy resists oxidation and corrosion to temperatures approaching 1000 °C. It combines good high-temperature strength with good fabricability and weldability, and is supplied in the annealed condition.
Typical applications include electric heating elements — heating rods, tubes and coils — automotive emission-control systems, industrial furnace parts, and heat exchangers.

The high chromium and nickel content gives a stable chromium-oxide scale and oxidation resistance well above that of standard 18-8 stainless steels, making the alloy well suited to high-temperature heating and furnace service.
An austenitic heat-resistant alloy; not hardenable by precipitation. Properties are set by annealing.
Anneal Anneal (solution anneal) at approximately 1010–1120 °C and cool rapidly (air or water quench) to dissolve carbides and restore a uniform austenitic structure. The alloy is not strengthened by heat treatment; cold work raises strength.
Good weldability by the conventional processes for austenitic stainless and nickel alloys; matching or compatible austenitic filler is used. The alloy is readily formed and welded.
| Welding Process | Applicability | Filler / Consumable |
|---|---|---|
| GTAW / TIG | Good | Matching / compatible austenitic filler |
| GMAW / MIG | Good | Compatible filler |
| Resistance / spot | Good | — |
Weld with conventional austenitic-stainless practice and clean surfaces; post-weld annealing may be applied where required.
