302 Stainless Steel Sheet, Coil & Plate - AMS 5516, UNS S30200

Sheet

302 stainless steel is an extremely tough, ductile grade that demonstrates superior corrosion resistance. 302 SS is non-magnetic, and it is not hardenable by heat treating. While it can be cold worked to increase hardness, it will also cause it to become slightly magnetic. It is generally used in the annealed condition and is noted for its ease of fabrication and formability. Cold working will significantly increase hardness, however it maintains ductility and can be drawn, spun, and upset.
