Type 301 Stainless Steel

Categories: Spring Steel Suppliers, Spring steel, Stainless Steel

Type 301 is a high strength grade of austenitic chromium Nickel stainless steel , its resistance to atmosphere corrosion and its bright, attractive surface make it an excellent choice for decorative structural applications.
Applications include automobile molding and trim, wheel cover, conveyor belts, kitchen equipment, roof draining systems, hose clamps, springs, truck and trailer bodies, railway [...]

Type 301 is a high strength grade of austenitic chromium Nickel stainless steel , its resistance to atmosphere corrosion and its bright, attractive surface make it an excellent choice for decorative structural applications. Applications include automobile molding and trim, wheel cover, conveyor belts, kitchen equipment, roof draining systems, hose clamps, springs, truck and trailer bodies, railway and subway cars. Type 301 is resistant to a variety of corrosive media. However, the corrosion properties are not as good as the 18-8 chromium-nickel steels. In the hard ... Read More

Stainless steel for spring applications

Categories: Featured, Stainless Steel, Steel manufacturing and processing

Stainless spring steels are used in place of the more common high carbon and alloy spring steels where corrosion resistance is important. This will commonly occur in medical, food processing, marine and petrochemical applications.
The two most available grades are 1.4310 (AISI 301) hard rolled , and BS420S37 and BS420S45 (AISI 420) hardened and tempered.
301 is [...]

In the UK over 90% of cold rolled spring steel sales are in CS70 and CS80 grades. Both grades are part of the BS1449 standard. Both grades are high carbon "spring" steel used in a variety of applications where high tensile strength is required. CS70 is normally supplied in the annealed condition, in which it is suitable for bending, shaping and forming, before heat treatment. Close International equivalents are Din CK67, AISI/SAE 1070 and Euronorm C67S. CS80 is usually supplied in the ready hardened or ... Read More
