AMS 5905 - 302 Stainless Steel Sheet and Strip
AMS 5905 is an SAE material specification for 302 stainless steel in sheet and strip form, 3/4 hard. This austenitic Cr-Ni alloy has good strength and reasonable ductility and is used in aircraft, military, and industrial parts where high strength is required with good resistance to corrosion.
Technical Overview
AMS 5905 302 stainless steel is ideal for components that require high strength without fully compromising formability.
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.
