Mechanical properties of stainless steel screws

Regardless of stainless steel screws or heat-resistant steel plates, the austenitic steel sheet has the best overall performance. It has both sufficient strength, excellent plasticity, and low hardness. This is one of the reasons why they are widely used. Austenitic stainless steels are similar to most other metal materials. Their tensile strength, yield strength, and hardness increase with decreasing temperature; plasticity decreases with decreasing temperature. Its tensile strength is more uniform in the temperature range of 15~80°C. What's more, the stainless steel screw's impact toughness decreases slowly with decreasing temperature, and there is no brittle transition temperature. Therefore, stainless steel can maintain sufficient plasticity and toughness at low temperatures.
