AMS 5636 - 302 Stainless Steel Bars, Wire, and Forgings
AMS 5636 is an SAE standard that specifies 302 stainless steel in bar, wire, and forging forms intended for use in industrial and chemical processing environments, as well as in aerospace applications. The standard specifies an austenitic chromium-nickel stainless steel known for its high tensile strength, resistance to corrosion, and excellent ductility.
Technical Overview
AMS 5636 Stainless Steel is a reliable combination of formability, weldability, and strength, making it a good option for critical components in aircraft and mechanical systems. With 18% Chromium and 8% Nickel, the alloy has excellent resistance to corrosion in oxidizing environments, as well as resistance to moderate chemical exposure.
What is 302 Stainless Steel ?
302 Stainless Steel is a chromium-nickel austenitic metal that is famous for its corrosion resistance, strength, and ductility. It is used in both annealed and cold-worked conditions, making it an extremely useful metal for numerous forming operations.
