In this post I'll talk about AISI 305. First let's describe it and then have a look at its material's properties.
What is AISI 305?
AISI 305 is a stainless steel that has good formability, strength and corrosion resistance.Application
Spun or deep drawn eyelets. Barrels. Shells. Cold headed rivets or screws.UNS Number
S30500Ok let's start with AISI 305 Chemical Composition.

AISI Ranking Research (Stainless Steel)
While engineers will often look for the cheapest material they can use, I took a different approach to material's selection to help newbie students.I ranked materials according to their yield strengths and AISI 305 currently ranks 73 in my yield strength index. This means there are other 72 materials that are more resistant.
Note: I've analysed 77 materials in order to create an yield strength index. Check my material's comparison post for more details.

References
ASTM A240 and other references.Citation
When you need to include a fact or piece of information in an assignment or essay you should also include where and how you found that piece of information.That gives credibility to your paper and it is sometimes required in higher education.
To make your life (and citation) easier just copy and paste the information below into your assignment or essay:
Luz, Gelson. AISI 305 Properties (Chem., Mech. & Rankings). Materials Blog. Gelsonluz.com. dd mmmm. yyyy. URL
Now replace dd, mmmm and yyyy with the day, month, and year you browsed this page. Also replace URL for the actual url of this page. This citation format is based on MLA.
