Stainless steel are magnetic like carbon steel. They are problematic to weld due to grain growth in the heat affected zone which reduces ductility and may result in cracks. Increasing chromium and molybdenum contents increase corrosion resistance as it does for austenitic stainless steels, however, this high alloying results in the precipitation of embrittling intermetallic phase upon welding. These microstructural problems due to welding restrict the use of ferritic stainless steels to very thin thicknesses and thus are not used in the construction of large heavy walled vessels and tanks, and structures like austenitic stainless steels. Common ferritic grades are: Type AISI
The Stainless Steel Rat Law of Robotics", which featured the Stainless Steel Rat in the setting of Isaac Asimov's "Robot" series. "The Return of the Stainless Steel Rat", a board game inspired by the character, was published by SPI in their magazine "Ares" in the late 1970s. Designed by Greg Costikyan, the game involved the Rat infiltrating a space station under hostile control. Angelina diGriz is a criminal mastermind much like the Rat, only less ethical and more willing to kill. As the Rat's first case for the Special Corps, he tracks Angelina down and ends up falling in love with her. After her
