Stainless steel 430 (EN 1.4016) with 17% chromium, which is used in washing machine drums, dishwasher interiors and refrigerator exteriors. Type 409 Type EN 1.4003+Nb) is used extensively in the manufacture of automotive exhausts Variants of EN 1.4105 are soft magnetic grades used in injectors, . Martensitic stainless steels offer a wide range of properties and are used as stainless engineering steels, stainless tool steels, creep resisting steels. They fall into 4 categories (with some overlap): Martensitic stainless steels form a family of stainless steels that can be heat treated to provide the adequate level of mechanical properties. The heat treatment typically
Corrugated stainless steel tubing and FAC tubing does not have a plastic sheath. On FAC tubing the corrugations are visible. CSST’s plastic sheath covers its corrugations. CSST is used as an alternative to the older standard “black iron” (steel) gas pipe. The inner stainless steel layer of typical residential CSST is .2 to .3 mm thick while the wall thickness of typical residential “black iron” gas pipe is 3 to 4 mm thick. CSST is more expensive than “black iron” gas pipe. However, CSST requires fewer joints, may be safer during earthquakes, and may be easier to install. CSST is alleged to have an
