305 STAINLESS STEEL PLATE is widely used for the production of parts by free spinning and cold heading operations, and it is particularly suitable for severe cold drawing, especially where the part can be completely formed in two draws. In many instances, the intermediate anneal can be eliminated when 305 STAINLESS STEEL PLATE is used. In drawing, the metal should be allowed to slip freely through the hold-down pads, thus holding stretching to a minimum. Used widely for electronic parts and other drawn applications.
