Looking for cost effective stainless steel
Looking for cost effective stainless steel
(OP)
I am looking for a stainless steel that has a minumum yield strength for all round bar sizes of 60,000 psi. The material must be non-magnetic. I know there are some options out there, but I am looking for the most cost effective one considering both purchase price of the material and machinability. Thought I would float it out there to see if anyone has a good suggestion. I have some quotes out for Nitronic 50, but I suspect the pricing might be considerably higher than something like 303 (current material being used).

Why do you only use 60ksi yield? Would higher strength help?
Too bad you need non-magnetic, a lean duplex would work in the annealed condition.

This will be frustrating for you. I know that many of these alloys are only manufactured in some product forms and/or sizes. You will have to hunt to find options. Just make it clear what your property requirements are and you should be fine. (minimum yield strength, minimum elongation, maximum magnetic permiability).
