301 stainless steel sheet is a versatile austenitic steel with high strength and excellent corrosion resistance. Its primary alloying elements are chromium and nickel. It shows up in the aerospace, automotive, architecture, and transportation industries.
This stainless steel grade demonstrates excellent corrosion resistance, high strength, and good ductility. High hardness combined with high strength achieved through cold working make 301 suitable for structural applications in aircraft and its excellent corrosion resistance meet food service equipment standards. It can be easily formed and drawn. This grade is non-hardenable by heat treatment.
This steel grade is popular in a number of industries. This includes: food service, automotive, architecture, aerospace, and others.
301 stainless is typically used in aircraft structural components, trailer bodies, trim for architecture and automotive, roof drainage, conveyor belts, train cars, appliances, cooking utensils, and more.
It is machinable.
It is weldable.
It is not heat treatable.

ANSWER:
The amount of chromium and nickel in 301 stainless steel is lower than in 304. The reduction of chromium and nickel extends the range of cold work-hardening capability which in turn produces higher tensile strengths.
ANSWER:
301 performs well in lower temperature conditions, especially where tensile strength is considered. For example, in the annealed condition 301 demonstrates an ultimate yield strength of 758 MPa (110 ksi). Once cold worked, that can increase to 1,276 MPa (185 ksi). High strengths achieved through cold work-hardening make this grade suitable for structural applications in colder temperatures.
ANSWER:
Austenitic stainless steel is a type of stainless steel. The other types of stainless steel are: ferritic, martensitic, duplex, and precipitation hardened. These 5 stainless steel classes are determined by their crystalline structures.
