Stainless steel – a noble material with an attractive look

 

Due to high corrosion resistance, stainless steel screws are particularly suitable for outdoor use.

 

Stainless steel A2 and A4 is a so-called martensitic steel with a chromium content of 10.5-13% and a carbon content of 0.2-1% and has the following properties:

 

+ has high wear resistance and edge retention

+ usually has a strength class of 70

+ has limited chemical resistance

+ is usually not magnetizable

+ is well converted

+ is hardenable and temperable

+ has optimized corrosion resistance

+ impresses with improved ductility

+ can be machined

+ has low temperature properties at – 40 °C with appropriate treatment

+ offers safe, low-stress production

+ is internationally standardized

 

Is stainless steel magnetic?

 

Stainless steel itself is not actually magnetic, but ferritic stainless steels and deformed fasteners such as washers and nuts can be magnetic!
