This grade is a high nitrogen and molybdenum bearing austenitic stainless steel that has a comparable or surpassing corrosion resistance to that of 316/316L and 317/317L plus approximately twice the yield strength at room temperature. The alloy does not become magnetic when cold worked, unlike many austenitic stainless steels.
303 Stainless machines well and cuts clean and maintains it resistance to corrosion in temperatures up to 1500 degrees F. Good applications include repeat machining, fittings and fasteners.
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)
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.
