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 No. 5-F is a modification of AISI Type 416 stainless steel and was designed for an optimum combination of machinability and corrosion resistance. It comprises a specially balanced analysis and is essentially non-hardenable. It is recommended for all screw-machine applications, particularly those involving intricate machining operations or where superior finishes are required as-machined. Its uses include valve trim, carburetor needles and many other screw-machine parts.
