Below is a comprehensive list of our alloys arranged by type. More detailed information can be found on each alloys specific page. All of our products are purchased to normal industry standards and come with material test reports (MTR) also known as material certifications.
301 is a commonly available austenitic stainless with good corrosion resistance and elevated carbon to allow for cold working to a variety of tempers. It can be obtained in the annealed, 1/4 hard, 1/2 hard, 3/4 hard, full hard, extra full hard and high
Automotive trim, kitchen equipment, hose clamps, wheel covers, aircraft components and a wide variety of industrial applications.
301 is not available in bar, plate, tube, pipe or forging, therefore no information is available.
Easily formed in the annealed condition. Care must be taken in forming operations which involve deforming the material in the tempered condition as cracking and tearing can result. Intermediate annealing only serves to reduce the hardness and therefore.
This alloy is resistant to the atmosphere, fresh water and mild environments. It will resist oxidation at temperatures up to 1500 F (840 C).
All popular techniques may be used, however the material will lose temper in the heat affected weld zone.
Commence forging at 2000-2200 F(1093-1204 C) and finish at 1700 F(927 C).
While cold forming is recommended wherever feasible, forging, upsetting and other operations can be performed at 1800-2100 F.
Most common cold work methods are successful with this alloy. It should be understood however that the material will be more difficult to work than other austenitic stainless steels due its high work hardening rate.
1850-2050 F (101-1121 C) followed by rapid cooling. For thin sections air cooling is acceptable, while heavier sections should be water quenched.
Aging is done, after solution heat treating, at 1400 F for 16 hours followed by air cooling. This develops maximum strength levels at the higher end application temperatures. Aging may also be done at higher temperatures such as 1600 F with an increase
This alloy does not respond to heat treatment.
