SUS 301S3010030301

What is SUS301 material?

SUS 301 is an austenitic stainless steel with a nominal composition of 17 percent chromium and 7 percent nickel. The high strengths of this grade of steel in the six available conditions or tempers, its resistance to atmosphere corrosion and its bright, attractive surface make it an excellent choice for decorative structural applications. Automobile molding and trim, wheel covers, conveyor belts, kitchen equipment, roof drainage systems, hose clamps, springs, truck and trailer bodies, railway and subway cars are some of the major applications for this versatile grade. By varying the chemical composition within the limits set by the ASTM specifications and by temper rolling, a broad range of magnetic and mechanical properties can be obtained for a variety of applications.

Is SS 301 corrosion resistance?

SS301 is resistant to a variety of corrosive media. However, the corrosion properties are not as good as the 18-8 chromium-nickel steels. Its susceptibility to carbide precipitation during welding restricts its use in many applications in favor of SUS 304 or SUS 304L.

What’s the difference between 301 and 304 stainless steel?

SUS301 and SUS304 are both austenitic stainless steels, so there is very little difference in their outward appearance.

The difference between them lies in their chemical composition, particularly their carbon, chromium, and nickel content. SUS301 is 0.15C17Cr7Ni, while SUS304 is 0.08C18Cr8Ni.

This difference actually affects the mechanical properties of the steel after rolling, for example, SUS301 can be made stronger than SUS304 by rolling.

SUS301 is recommended for applications that require elasticity, due to its ability to acquire a high degree of strength when rolled.

SUS304 is recommended for applications that require good workability and corrosion resistance, while SUS304L is recommended for those that require resistance to intergranular attack

SPECIFICATIONS AND USE

Precision Brand Blue Tempered Spring Steel Shim is a C1095 high carbon, hardened and tempered product to meet the most exacting requirements. This high quality spring steel has a Rockwell hardness range of C 48/51. This material is preferred by tool and die makers for low templates and shim applications where toughness and low fatigue values are required. The blue surface is ideal for scribing layouts. Recommended for various types of coiled and flat mechanical springs, such as those used in tuning devices, electrical assemblies, steel tapes and rules.

Hardened and tempered to the most exacting requirements for your critical applications. Pre-tempered spring steel can withstand mild forming, but when yours finished piece is a blanked part, it is usually the only economical raw material to consider. Its uses include doctor blades, all types of flat springs, motor springs, valves, steel tapes, reeds and numerous other applications. Min Thickness from 0.0127mm to 2mm.
