Material properties of stainless steel drawing
Manufacturing with stainless steel offers many of the benefits of steel without rusting and corrosion. The chemical composition of stainless steel includes at least 10.5% chromium, as well as iron, nickel and manganese. When exposed to air, the chromium in stainless steel oxidizes, forming a protective layer that is highly resistant to moisture and corrosion. There are many types of stainless steel, each classified according to its molecular composition and structure. Stainless Steel Type 201/201L Type 201 stainless steel has a lower nickel content than other stainless steel blends. This makes it cheaper, but also less resistant to corrosion. The higher manganese content makes stainless steel 201 stronger than other…
