What is SUS301?

What is SUS301? SUS301 has a lower chromium and nickel content than SU304, which allows it to harden more when worked. Its high hardness makes it ideal for applications that require durability such as coil springs and dome switches.

Is SUS301 magnetic?

301 is an austenitic chromium-nickel stainless steel. This alloy is nonmagnetic in the annealed condition,but becomes magnetic when cold worked.

What is ASTM A666?

ASTM A666 is the specification standard for how austenitic stainless steel is heated and cooled for various applications. It states that this metal needs to adhere to certain requirements regarding chemical composition and should be formed into a thin steel sheet, bar, plate, or thin metal strips.

What is the difference between 304 and 301?

Generally speaking, grade 301 tends to be a little less corrosion resistant than grade 304 because the 301 alloy has a lower chromium content and a higher level of carbon. At higher temperatures, the difference in corrosion resistance is more pronounced.

What is 304L stainless steel?

Alloy 304L a T-300 series stainless steel austenitic, which has a minimum of 18% chromium and 8% nickel. Type 304L has a carbon maximum is 0.030. It is the standard “18/8 stainless” that is commonly found in pans and cooking tools. Alloys 304L is the most versatile and widely used alloy in the stainless steel family.

How Magnetic is stainless 301?

Type 301 is non-magnetic in the annealed condition but becomes magnetic as a result of cold working. Type 301 is corrosion resistant in many environments, but the corrosion properties are less than that of 304/304L stainless steel.

What is ASTM A240 Type 304?

304 and 304L ASTM A240 stainless steel plate is a standard 18-8 material – meaning it contains 18% chromium and 8% nickel. 304 Stainless steel plate is one of the most versatile stainless steel materials available. It has excellent forming and welding characteristics.

What is ASTM A582?

ASTM A582, 1992 Edition, October 15, 1992 – STANDARD SPECIFICATION FOR FREE-MACHINING STAINLESS AND HEAT- RESISTING STEEL BARS, HOT-ROLLED OR COLD- FINISHED. This specification covers hot-finished or cold-finished bars, except bars for forging (Note 1).
