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
Stainless steel fiber Stainless steel fiber Stainless steel fibers are manufactured fibers composed of stainless steel. Composition may include carbon (C), silicon (Si), manganese (Mn), phosphorus (P), sulfur (S), and other elements. Currently stainless steel fibers are manufactured primarily in Europe. The most common uses for stainless steel fibers is in the field of the electrical and textiles industry such as anti-radiation cloth, thermal resistant fabric, and anti-static brushes. Many people also use stainless steel fibers in weaving. Increasingly common today are stainless steel fibers in clothing, including radiation protection for pregnant women. Stainless steel yarns are woven, braided, and knit into many
