Type 305 (UNS S30500) in Coil Form

Description

Type 305 is a chromium nickel austenitic stainless steel with a low rate of work hardening due to the elevated nickel content. This low rate of work hardening makes this grade well suited for multi-stage deep drawing applications without process annealing where 304/304L may suffer from cracking issues. Type 305 is non-magnetic in the annealed and cold worked conditions and has corrosion resistance similar to 304/304L stainless steel.
