The 300 series of stainless steel alloys are part of the austenitic family. Austenitic stainless steels are chromium-nickel alloys which are hardened by cold working. Nickel is the main element varied within the alloys of this class while carbon is at low levels. The nickel content may be modified from about 4% to 22% -... Continue Reading →
What you should know about stainless steel alloy
Austenitic stainless steel is a specific type of steel alloy typically in use for stainless applications. Stainless steels are organized in four main categories by their crystalline structure: austenitic, ferritic, martensitic and duplex. Austenitic steels are hardenable by cold treatment and are mostly non-magnetic. Today, we are breaking down the basics of what you should... Continue Reading →
