## Mechanical properties (typical values, not certified minimums)

| Property | Value |
|---|---|
| Tensile strength | 950 MPa |
| Yield strength | 880 MPa |
| Hardness | 36 HRC |
| Density | 4.43 g/cm³ |
| Machinability | ★☆☆☆☆ (1/5) |
| Corrosion resistance | ★★★★★ (5/5) |

## When to choose it

When the spec demands steel strength at 56% of steel weight, body-fluid biocompatibility or seawater immunity — airframe fittings, implants, subsea hardware. ELI (Grade 23) available for medical traceability.

## When to look elsewhere

If 7075-T6 aluminum or 17-4 PH meets the load case, they cost a fraction: titanium machining runs ~2.5× stainless due to heat concentration at the tool edge and springy thin walls.

## Typical applications

- Orthopedic implants and trials (ELI grade)
- Airframe fittings and engine brackets
- Marine and subsea hardware
- Racing and aerospace fasteners
