Magnetic ferritic stainless steel resists corrosion.

A soft magnetic ferritic stainless steel that is said to offer superior corrosion resistance has been developed for solenoids by Carpenter Technology, Reading, Pa. Chrome Core 29 Solenoid Quality stainless was designed for applications in high-purity environments such as those encountered in the semiconductor manufacturing industry and other corrosive aqueous environments. The alloy is said to provide significantly better corrosion resistance than Chrome Core is-FM Solenoid Quality stainless, and approaches that of ...
