Atlas 301 is a high work-hardening rate austenitic stainless steel. It can be supplied with a tensile strength of up to and over 1300 MPa (189 ksi) in strip and wire forms, to produce tempers in the range of 1/16 Hard to Full Hard. The controlled analysis of Atlas 301 enables it to retain sufficient ductility in conditions up to 1/2 Hard and allows it to be roll or brake formed into aircraft, architectural, and particularly rail car structural components. However, 3/4 Hard to Full Hard tempers should be used whenever high wear resistance and spring features are required in components of simple form designs.
