Electronics
Electronics applications turn on dimensional precision, surface condition and sometimes magnetic or electrical properties rather than corrosion. Thin-gauge strip and foil to close thickness tolerance, and small turned parts held to tight concentricity, are the recurring requirements.
What gets specified in electronics
Ordered by how commonly they are called for in this sector.
- UNS S30400 / S30403304 / 304LPREN 19
The default austenitic stainless. 18% chromium, 8% nickel, no molybdenum.
- UNS S31600 / S31603316 / 316LPREN 25
304 plus 2–3% molybdenum. The standard answer to chlorides and mild acids.
- UNS N02200Nickel 200
Commercially pure nickel, minimum 99% Ni. The caustic service standard.
- UNS S1740017-4 PHPREN 20
Martensitic PH grade. Machine soft, then age to tensile strengths above 1300 MPa.
