Description
Stainless Steel 405 is a 12% chromium stainless steel designed to be used in the as-welded condition. Unlike the other grades of 12% chromium stainless, it is not vulnerable to extensive hardening through air cooling from high temperatures. It has same corrosion resistance of stainless steel grade 410. The alloy is used in situations where more weldability is desired than 410. It can be easily machined due to its soft and ductile characteristics. It is reasonable to expect specifications in these standards to be similar but not necessarily identical to those given in this data sheet.
