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 430F is a free-cutting steel and is recommended for faster cutting and lower costs when making machined articles from a stainless steel containing 14-18% chromium. It is used in automatic screw machines for parts that require good resistance to corrosion. Examples of such parts are aircraft components and gears.
