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.AL Tech 416EZ and 430F are magnetic, free-machining stainless steels specifically designed for use in high-speed, automatic machining operations. These modifications retain, in so far as possible, the good mechanical properties and corrosion resistance of the basic compositions which they represent. Sulfur is added to produce the free-machining characteristics. AL Tech 416EZ is a martensitic stainless steel and 430F is ferritic. Data are typical; do not use for specification or final design.
