AMS 5637 - 302 Stainless Steel Bars, Wire, and Forgings
AMS 5637 refers to the SAE AMS 5637 specification, which covers 302 Stainless Steel bars, wire, and forgings that are produced in a cold finished condition. This austenitic Cr-Ni alloy steel has excellent tensile strength, ductility, and resistance to corrosion, making it a prime candidate for precision parts that require tight dimensional tolerances and smooth surface finishes.
Technical Overview
AMS 5637 stainless steel is cold finished, which helps improve its mechanical properties, dimensional accuracy, and surface quality, ensuring its performance in applications that require resistance to corrosion, retention of high-temperature and cryogenic properties, and high-strength performance.
Typical Chemical Composition:
- Chromium: 17.0 – 19.0%
- Nickel: 8.0 – 10.0%
- Carbon: ≤ 0.15%
- Manganese: ≤ 2.0%
- Silicon: ≤ 1.0%
What is 302 Stainless Steel ?
