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)
Stainless 309 is an austenitic chromium nickel stainless steel and offers a better corrosion resistance than the type 304 because of higher percentages of nickel and chromium. Suitable for parts requiring both corrosion and heat resistance and oxidation resistance up to 2000 °F. Strength at elevated temperatures is similar to that of 18-8 Stainless Steels. […]
Alloy 321 (UNS S32100) contains increased titanium for improved strength and heat resistance, making it ideal for applications range of 800 – 1500°F (427 – 816°C). It has excellent resistance to intergranular corrosion. A popular aircraft alloy.
Stainless 422 is a hardenable, martensitic stainless steel with better strength at higher temperatures as high as 1200 F. It is capable of being heat treated to various high strength levels.
