At Bhansali Impex, these standard ferritic stainless steels are plain chromium stainless steels, and can be stabilised with niobium and/or titanium. Annealed standard ferritics are ductile and can be formed using a wide variety of roll forming or mild stretch bending operations as well as the more common drawing and bending operations. They do not harden excessively during cold working.
Being ferritic, they are not susceptible to stress corrosion cracking. The steels have limited weldability and should not be used in the as-welded condition for dynamic or impact loaded structures.
