Increased hot workability of Type 304 stainless steel containing approximately 2 wt% boron was obtained by maintaining the manganese and silicon contents of the alloy above minimum levels of 1.40 and 0.60 wt%, respectively. Close control of the range of temperatures over which hot working was carried out was also demonstrated to be of importance. However, over the range investigated variation in the temperature of hot working was of secondary significance as compared with alloy composition. (auth)
