AMS 5904 – 302 Stainless Steel Sheet and Strip
AMS 5904 is the SAE specification for 302 stainless steel sheet and strip in the 1/2 hard condition. This chromium-nickel alloy, which is an austenitic steel, offers higher strength with no compromise in corrosion resistance or ductility, making it an excellent material for aerospace, defense, and industrial applications where moderate forming is required and enhanced mechanical properties are desired.
Technical Overview
AMS 5904 302 stainless steel provides a balance between strength and formability, ideal for moderately stressed components.
Typical Chemical Composition:
- Chromium (Cr): 17.0–19.0%
- Nickel (Ni): 8.0–10.0%
- Carbon (C): ≤ 0.15%
- Manganese (Mn): ≤ 2.0%
- Silicon (Si): ≤ 1.0%
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.
