There are many different types of stainless steel..440c,ATs34, 303, etc..so it heavily depends on what type you're referring to.
Ferritic stainless steels would be the ones that have the best machining characteristics but is not heat treatable.

What is the difference between tin plate and stainless steel?
a tin plate is tin and a plate, and stainless steel is stainless steel.
In witch city was stainless steel invented?
Stainless steel was invented in Sheffield
What is 4140 stainless steel?
It's a misnomer. 4140 is a type of steel, which is NOT stainless.
What is a stainless steel welding rod?
Easy. A rod or electrode used in welding stainless steel. Or to "clad" a surface with stainless steel. (Nothing more than laying down a layer or layers of stainless.) MIG wire also comes in stainless steel. Their are different types of stainless steel and rods/wire/electrodes to use on them.
Is mild steel better than stainless steel?
Per the attached related link, the density (hence weight) of stainless is slightly more than the mild carbon steel. Using about 8.03/7.84 ratio of density, for the same volume of material the stainless will weigh 2.4 % more.
Difference between duplex stainless steel and stainless steel?
There's no difference, cause duplex is a type of Stainless Steel, as so ferritic,austenitic,martensitic.
What elements are used in 2 rupee coin?
The alloy is a ferritic stainless steel.
Diffence between ferritic stainless steel and martensitic stainless steel?
Ferritic stainless steel are magnetic, containing no nickel and not hardened by heat treatment. For example 409 and 430 stainless steel Martensitic stainless steel are also magnetic and containing no nickel but hardened by heat treatment. For example 410 and 420 stainless steel
What is the Property difference between steel and stainless steell?
When an alloy of steel contains more than approximately 10 ½% Chromium it can be classified as a stainless steel. There are several clasifications of stainless steel with varying propertys Martensitic, Ferritic, Austenitic and Duplex.
What is duplex stainless steel?
Duplex stainless steel are extremely corrosion resistant, work hardenable alloys. Their microstructures consist of a mixture of austenite and ferrite phases. As a result, duplex stainless steels display properties characteristic of both austenitic and ferritic stainless steels. This combination of properties can mean some compromise when compared with pure austenitic and pure ferritic grades.
Can someone supply me with a 'Formula to calculate ferrite content in ferritic austenitic stainless steel'?
ferrite calculate formula?
What is the composition of Indian coins?
ferritic stainless steel for 50 & 100 paise , cupronickel for 5 rupee coin
What type of material is Indian coins made of?
for the denomination: 1, 2 & 5- ferritic stainless steel 5 & 10- brass
Why ferritic and austenitic stainless steel are not heat treatable?
Ferritic and austenitic stainless steels are not heat treatable since "heat treatable" is taken to mean that martensite may be made to form with relative ease upon quenching austenite from an elevated temperature. For ferritic stainless steels, austenite does not form upon heating, and, therefore, the austenite-to-martensite transformation is not possible. For austenitic stainless steels, the austenite phase field extends to such low temperatures that the martensitic transformation does not occur.
Is ASTM A105 ferritic steel?
A105 is a spec found on some types of carbon steel round bars. The term "ferritic" would not apply.Ferritic stainless steels contain larger amounts of Cr which stabilizes the ferritic phase. Ferritic stainless steels are highly corrosion resistant, but far less durable than austenitic grades and cannot be hardened by heat treatment. They contain between 10.5% and 27% chromium and very little nickel, if any. Typical applications may include appliances, automotive and architectural trim (i.e., decorative purposes), as the cheapest stainless steels are found in this family (type 409).
Is steel stronger than aluminum?
It heavily depends on which type of stainless steel you're referring to and what your definition of strong is. High carbon and perhaps plain carbon steels would be harder then austenite and ferritic stainless, but martensitic stainless would be harder then plain/high carbon. Austenite and ferritic stainless would be tougher and austenite would have have highest degree of corrosion resistance. I consider a steel to be "strong" if it has a balance of hardness and toughness in which case,I would say martensitic stainless steels.
Why do magnets stick to stainless steel knives but not stainless steel fridges?
Knives are usually made from hardened stainless steel typically a martensitic type, appliances would normally use a austenitic type which is softer and better for forming. Martensitic and ferritic stainless are normally magnetic due to their different structures
