Hardness of Materials
Austenitic stainless steels have the best corrosion resistance of all stainless steels and they have excellent cryogenic properties, and good hightemperature strength. They possess a facecentered cubic (fcc) microstructure that is nonmagnetic, and they can be easily 304 stainless steel (containing 18%20% chromium and 8%% nickel) is the most common .
