17-7 stainless steel is a stable, chromium-nickel-aluminum precipitation hardened stainless steel that provides high strength and hardness, excellent fatigue properties, moderately resistant to corrosion, good formability, and minimum distortion upon heat treatment.
15-5 is a martensitic precipitation-hardening stainless steel that provides high strength, good corrosion resistance, good mechanical properties at temperatures up to 600°F (316°C) and good toughness in both the longitudinal and transverse directions in both base metal and welds. Alloy 15-5 is the ferrite-free version of Type 17-4 stainless steel. Both alloys are widely used […]
Stainless 304, also known as 18-8 stainless, is the most common steel used in a variety of uses because of the ease in which it can be formed into various shapes. Non-magnetic and highly resistant to corrosion makes it a good all-purpose stainless.
Of the 400 series of stainless steels, 400C has the highest carbon content and moderate corrosion resistance and can heat-treat to the highest harness of RC 60. (In contrast, 416 is normally heat treated to RC 26/32)
