Austenitic stainless steel is similar to most other metal materials, its tensile strength, yield strength and hardness increase with decreasing temperature; plasticity decreases with decreasing temperature. Its tensile strength increases more uniformly in the temperature range of 15~80°C.

      More importantly, as the temperature decreases, the impact toughness decreases slowly, and there is no brittle transition temperature. Therefore, stainless steel can maintain sufficient plasticity and toughness at low temperatures. The heat resistance of stainless steel refers to the performance of anti-oxidation or gas medium corrosion resistance at high temperature, that is, thermal stability.

     Therefore, in general, austenitic stainless steel plate has sufficient strength, excellent plasticity and low hardness, which is one of the reasons why they are widely used.
