Stainless Steel Alloy 302

Type 302 Stainless Steel is a famous austenitic and non-magnetic stainless steel that is renowned for its tensile strength and plasticity. Although Type 302 Stainless Steel is quite similar to 304 Stainless Steel, it has a higher carbon content and a strong record of corrosion resistance. Although it has a tendency to work harder, modest speeds and high feeds can counteract this.

Type 302 is utilized in numerous applications and goods, including:

Stamped Wire-Spinning Forming Washers

Form Springs

Spring Clips

Retainers Screens Cables

To be designated Type 302, a stainless steel must include the following components:

Cr 17-19%

Ni 8-10%

Mn 2%

Si 1% 

C 0.15% 

S 0.03% 

P 0.045%

The tensile strength of Type 302 is 8990 psi and the yield strength is 39900 psi. SSM is pleased to provide Type 302 Stainless Steel in many forms, including sheet, plate, wire, and strip. Our stainless steel products meet or exceed the most stringent industry requirements.
