Stainless Steel - Precipitation Hardening

Precipitation hardening stainless steels are designed to be formable in the solution annealed condition and can subsequently be hardened by heat treating to strength levels several times that of Type 304. Precipitation hardening stainless steels may be martensitic or semi-austenitic (sometimes called metastable austenitics) and contain chromium and nickel as the major alloying elements. Corrosion resistance is usually better than that of straight chromium ferritics.
