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.
Type 302 stainless steel (AMS 5516) is a higher carbon version of type 304, and is ideal for uses such as stamping and forming of products like flat washers from sheet material. It is corrosion resistant in many environments and its higher level of corrosion resistance make it a great choice for the food and beverage industry. We offer 302 sheet and plate products (UNS S30200) in a variety of thicknesses for your specific applications.
