What’s Austenitic Stainless Steel?

Austenitic means a metallic, non-magnetic solid solution of carbon and iron that exists in steel above the critical temperature of about 723°C. The rate of cooling determines the relative proportions of these materials and therefore the mechanical properties of the steel such as hardness and tensile strength.

Austenitic stainless steel has kinds 200 series stainless steel and 300 series stainless steel. 200 series stainless steel are austenitic iron-chromium-nickel-manganese alloys. 300 series stainless steel are austenitic iron-chromium-nickel alloys.

Austenitic stainless steel can be tested by nondestructive testing using the dye penetrant inspection method but not the magnetic particle inspection method. Eddy-current testing may also be used. Austenitic stainless steel is the primary stainless steel used in aviation construction.
