Metal
STAINLESS
Stainless steel has been alloyed to greatly increase the corrosion resistance over that of carbon/alloy steel. Common alloying ingredients include chromium (usually at least 11%), nickel, or molybdenum. Alloy content often is on the order of 15-30% so the price of stainless steel is notably higher than carbon/alloy steels. Stainless steel is also not generally used where very high strength or hardness is needed. Example applications include food handling/processing, medical instruments, hardware, appliances, and structural/architectural uses.

416 STAINLESS ROUND
416 is a free-machining stainless steel specifically designed to exhibit improved machinability. These modifications retain, in so far as possible, the good mechanical properties and corrosion resistance of the basic or patent compositions which they represent. Sulfur is added to produce the free-machine characteristics. Type 416 is a martensitic 12 to 13% Cr free-machining stainless steel which can be hardened by heat treatment to higher strength and hardness levels. It has better machining properties than the austenitic grades, but lower corrosion resistance.
