Description / Abstract:
Form
This specification covers a free-machining, corrosion-resistant
steel in the form of bars, forgings, and forging stock.
Application
These products have been used typically for parts on which the
amount of machining warrants use of a free-machining grade of
steel, requiring corrosion resistance similar to the 18-8 type of
steel, not subjected to temperatures exceeding 700 °F (371 °C)
during fabrication or in service, but usage is not limited to such
applications.
