Mechanical properties of stainless steel screws

Regardless of the stainless steel screw or the heat-resistant steel plate, the austenitic steel sheet has the best overall performance, and has both sufficient strength, excellent plasticity, and low hardness, which 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.
