Stainless steel is a martensitic precipitation hardening stainless steel with high strength, good corrosion resistance, good mechanical properties at temperatures up to 600¡ãF (316¡ãC), both in the base metal and in the weld Good toughness, along with short, low temperature heat treatment, minimizes warpage and fouling. This versatile material is widely used in the aerospace, chemical, petrochemical, food processing, paper and general metalworking industries.
