I quoted My source in the first post with the actual chemistry for 316 SS. EMJ's book also has 203, 303, 304, the Low carbon or 304L and 316L alloys, the 400 series and other "Super Alloys" like the Inconel's, Monel's, Hastalloys, even Titanium. As a service to all that are as facinated in metalurgy as I am I'd recommend checking their web brouser for "ASM", the American Society of Materials. I bought Son the Metals Desk Reference for His birthday or X-mas when He was about 16 yrs old. When He started taking materials courses at Purdue 2 yrs ago it was the first book He was required to get. ALL types of materials and process dealing with metals are covered in this book. It's over $150 but well worth the expense. Other good sites to check are VINCENT Metals, PRINCIPAL METALS, and I haven't checked EMJ's site lately but 'd imagine they have info as well. Sorry My comment didn't set well with You T-Bone...Guess I should have named a few of My better recommended sources but I was pressed for time. Too much just plain BAD information gets distributed over the Internet. I agree there's a lot of very helpful people on this site.... Check the Farmall board.... I was wrong the other day about NO Farmall M's ever having factory disc brakes.... Appears the parts books proved Me wrong... seems as though the last 2-3 weeks production of M's in early 1952 got the Super M disc brakes. Same thing with the H's according to Hugh McKay also. I've never seen one but if the parts books show they made them then they're out there. ANYHOW... I could go on and on about the Armco Nitronic series of alloys, non-galling stainless steels used in food/chemical equipment, DUPLEX Stainless steels, Dairy Metal used to produce bushings for food equipment, made from roughly 60% copper and the rest is nickel but it's ALL silver in color, and many other types of metals I've bought parts from in the past.... Foundry I used to buy parts from about 8 miles from where I'm sitting right now makes an alloy of steel called HC-250. It's a high wear abrasion resistant steel that heat-treats up to about 70 Rockwell on the "C" scale... Glass hard... have to grind or EDM the material once it's hard. The "250" stands for 2.50% Carbon... Neat stuff Huh? The mixing flights in the continous flow mixer for the rocket fuel used in the solid rocket boosters for the Space Shuttle are made from that material. I also have some info at home for some steel used to make machine tools parts that when heat-treated properly has almost 400,000 ponds tensile strength. That's about 10 times the strength of common steel most things are made from. Great stuff. LIKE I SAID BEFORE T-BONE... Sorry You didn't like My comment... I was just trying to help.... My suggestion to many people is to check Your local library to answer a lot of these questions... All kinds of GOOD information available if You look.
