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
Austenitic stainless steel steel can be tested by nondestructive testing using the dye penetrant inspection method but not the magnetic particle inspection method. Eddy-current testing may also be used. Austenitic stainless steels Jean H. Decroix et al. Austenitic stainless steel Austenitic stainless steel is a specific type of stainless steel alloy. Stainless steels may be classified by their crystalline structure into four main types: "austenitic", "ferritic," "martensitic and duplex." These stainless steels possess austenite as their primary crystalline structure (face centered cubic). This austenite crystalline structure is achieved by sufficient additions of the austenite stabilizing elements nickel, manganese and nitrogen. Due to their
