Stainless Steels
Stainless steels are used in cast, wrought and powder metallurgy forms. Applications include wipers,
brackets, tubing, springs, clamps, fasteners, sensors, gaskets, air bag assemblies, flanges, wheels, fuel
tanks, and bus structurals/panels. Parts are made from austenitic stainless steels, which contain nickel, or
ferritic stainless steels, with little or no nickel in less demanding applications.
