Ferritic stainless steel

Ferritic stainless steel is a type of stainless steel characterized by its magnetic properties and mainly composed of iron with a significant amount of chromium. It resists corrosion and staining, making it suitable for appliances, automotive parts, and industrial applications. Unlike other stainless steels, ferritic varieties contain less nickel and have a more affordable price point. They offer good mechanical properties and high thermal and electrical conductivity. While less ductile than other steels, ferritic stainless steel provides a balanced combination of strength, corrosion resistance, and cost-effectiveness for various engineering and decorative uses.
