Stainless steels bond around a key material property: excellent corrosion resistance, attributable to high chromium content (> 10.5% by mass) and low carbon content (<1.2% by mass). Beyond the corrosion resistance, the mechanical properties of these steels can vary greatly according to the family to which they belong.

General Properties
Alloy 330 (UNS N08330) is an austenitic nickel-iron-chromium alloy developed to provide excellent resistance to carburizing and oxidizing atmospheres at elevated temperatures. With a nickel content of 34 to 37 percent, the alloy remains highly resistant to both chloride stress corrosion cracking and embrittlement from the precipitation of sigma phase.
