Heat changes everything: Stainless steel at high temperatures

Designing with stainless steel for high-temperature service requires a completely different approach than selecting materials for corrosion resistance. This webinar explores how the properties of various stainless steel families change at elevated temperatures, why certain alloys perform better within specific temperature ranges, and how welds and castings can behave differently from wrought materials.

We’ll also examine the critical role of design in high-temperature applications and touch on key high-temperature corrosion considerations—equipping you with the knowledge to make informed material and fabrication decisions.

What we’ll cover:

  • How mechanical and metallurgical properties shift at elevated temperatures
  • Selecting the right stainless steel for high-temperature environments
  • Why welds and castings can behave differently from wrought products
  • Key design considerations for reliable performance
  • A brief look at high-temperature corrosion risks

If you specify, fabricate, or design equipment exposed to heat, this session will provide practical insights to help you avoid costly mistakes. 

Attendees are encouraged to submit specific cases in advance or bring them up during the Q&A session (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.).
