Temper Embrittlement (?) of 410 & 410S stainless steel
Temper Embrittlement (?) of 410 & 410S stainless steel
(OP)
Looking for the susceptibility of these steels to temper embrittlement, particularly 410S. In principle it is possible, but I've been unable to locate hard data.

I know 410S is ferritic, does that preclude the possibility of TE?

The alloy can not be hardened by heat treatment. It is annealed in the 1600 –
1650°F (871 – 899°C) range and then air cooled to relieve cold working
stresses. 410S should not be exposed to temperatures of 2000°F (1093°C) or
above due to embrittlement. If excessive large grains are encountered after
annealing mildly cold-worked material, the annealing temperature should be
decreased to a range of 1200 – 1350°F (649 – 732°C) range
