- Austenitic (Chrome Nickel)
- Good Cold Working
- Good Elongation in Full Hard Condition
- Good Fatigue Life
- High Strength to Weight Ratio
- Work Hardens Readily - so is in demand in harder tempers
- Not Heat-treatable for Hardening Purposes
- Non-magnetic in Annealed Condition
- Slightly Magnetic in Work-hardened Condition
- Good Heat and Corrosion Resistance
- Welds Easily
- Solution Annealed by Cooling Rapidly from 2000°F in Air or Water.
