Description
Stainless Steel 301 is a popular austenitic chromium-nickel stainless steel that is known for its corrosion resistance. Similar to 304, it has lower levels of chromium and nickel which increases its cold work-hardening range. It has good corrosion resistance under atmospheric conditions, but it has poor corrosion resistance in reducing media, and chemical media such as acids, alkalis and salts, so it is not recommended for harsh corrosion environments. The alloy is mainly used in the cold working state to withstand higher loads, but also hopes to reduce the weight of equipment and corrosion-resistant parts. It is reasonable to expect specifications in these standards to be similar but not necessarily identical to those given in this data sheet.
