Evans produces precision deep drawn and progressive die stampings in ferritic stainless steel
Evans has processed millions of stainless steel pieces — austenitic, ferritic, martensitic and duplex. Services include in-house tooling and secondary operations. We are active in all kinds of industries, from defense and aerospace to medical and automotive.
Ferritic stainless steels are essentially iron-chromium alloys. The ferritic alloys are ferromagnetic. They can have good ductility and formability, but high-temperature strengths are relatively poor compared to those of the austenitic grades. Toughness may be somewhat limited at low temperatures and in heavy sections. Unlike the martensitic stainless steels, the ferritic stainless steels cannot be strengthened by heat treatment. Corrosion resistance, that of the ferritic stainless steels can range from moderate for the low-to-medium, chromium-content alloys to outstanding for the superferritics.
