Sheet stainless steel 301

aeronauticalfor the aerospace industry

301 stainless steel combines high strength with good corrosion resistance making the material ideal for many commercial engineering applications. The product is available in various tempers and conditions depending on the required strength levels. The material benefits from good weldability, and ductility is also good when cold worked. 301 offers good oxidation resistance and is highly suitable for architectural and decorative applications. Structural Applications The alloy is also suitable in structural applications due to the high strength and hardness achieved through cold working. Typical examples include aircraft structural parts, automotive parts and decorative applications. The alloy is non-hardenable by heat treatment but may be easily formed and drawn.
