Austenitic Stainless Steel Grade 302

Austenitic Stainless Steel Grade 302: SS 302 is a variations of the 18% chromium / 8% nickel austenitic alloy, which is the most familiar and the most frequently used in the stainless steel family. Austenitic Stainless Steel Grade 302 is a slightly higher carbon version of 304, often found in strip and wire forms. It is a tough, ductile grade that demonstrates comparable corrosion resistance, is non-magnetic, and is not hardenable by heat treatment. 

302 austenitic stainless steel is usually used in its annealed condition and has a high ease of fabrication and formability.
300 Series stainless steels are classified as austenitic, and are hardenable only by cold working methods. These grades of stainless have chromium (approx. 18 to 30%) and nickel (approx. 6 to 20%) as their major alloying additions. Type 304 is the most widely used alloy of all stainless steels. 300 Series Stainless steel alloys resist corrosion, maintain their strength at high temperatures and are easy to maintain.
Specifications: ASTM/ASME: UNS S30200
EURONORM: FeMi35Cr20Cu4Mo2
DIN: 2.4660
Type: plates, sheets, coils, bars 
Applications:
Although many applications have shifted to 304 and 304L due to advances in melting technology, availability, and cost, Alloy 302 is still used in a variety of industries. Some examples include:Stamping, Spinning, Wire forming, Formed into all types of washers, springs, screens, and cables, Food and beverage industry, Pressure containing applications, and Sanitary or cryogenic applications
