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
Stainless steel grades typically EN1.4913 or 1.4923 are used in parts of turbochargers, other heat resisting grades for EGR (Exhaust gas recirculation) and for inlet and exhaust valves. In addition, common rail injection systems and particularly the injectors rely on stainless steels. Stainless steel has proved to be the best choice for miscellaneous applications, such as stiffeners for windshiel wiper blades, balls for seat belt operation device in case of accident, springs, fasteners, etc. The aft body panel of the Porsche Cayman model (2-door coupe hatchback) is made of stainless steel. It was discovered during early body prototyping that conventional steel could
