COLD PRESSING
PROPERTIES

* But only recommended for applications involving mildly corroding conditions


** Where heat resistance is the only requirement. Otherwise max. service temperature 400C.
Austenitic stainless steels [300 Series] are generally classed as non-magnetic, though cold working can sometimes induce slight magnetism.
Both martensitic and ferritic types are magnetic.
