301-1/2 Hard Tempered Stainless Steel Sheet & Coil - AMS 5518
301 1/2 Hard Tempered Stainless Steel
301-1/2 Coil
301-1/2 Sheet
301-1/2 Hard is an austenitic stainless steel that it has been cold rolled to its 1/2 hard condition. This makes it ideal for applications requiring both formability and tensile strength of 150,000 PSI and yield strength of 110,000 PSI.
