View Sample Alloy Digest Data Sheet (PDF)Since 1952, Alloy Digest has been the leading reference for materials property data on metals and alloys used throughout the world. Featuring graphs, charts and tables, these sheets give facts and figures on composition or characterization, physical and mechanical properties, heat treatment, and machinability.CARPENTER STAINLESS TYPE 405 is a 12% chromium stainless steel that does not harden appreciably. It was designed to allow its use in the as-welded condition. It is particularly desirable for welded applications which require finish machining. It has moderate tensile strength (70,000 psi) in the fully annealed condition and resists corrosion in mild environments. It is used for parts and structures that cannot be annealed after welding.
