Galling and wear resistant, austenitic. Corrosion resistance better than type 304 in most media and pitting resistance superior than type 316. Room temperature yield strength about 2 times type 304. Excellent high-temperature oxidation resistance and low-temperature impact resistance. Applications include valve stems, seats and trim, nuts and bolts, screening, chain drive systems, and pins, bushings, and roller bearings. Test specimens were 11.2 mm diameter at start. |
