    Impact-Resistant 15-5 PH Stainless Steel Rods

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Stainless Steel. Impact-Resistant 15-5 PH Stainless Steel Rods.
    15-5 PH stainless steel is tougher than 17-4 PH, which means it's more likely to absorb impact and bend rather than suddenly break. Offering outstanding strength, this stainless steel is often used for gears and shafts. It maintains its corrosion resistance in temperatures up to 1100° F.

    Impact-Resistant 440A Stainless Steel Sheets

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Stainless Steel. Impact-Resistant 440A Stainless Steel Sheets.
    A good choice for cutlery and valve components, 440A stainless steel absorbs impacts and bends instead of suddenly breaking. It contains less carbon than 440C stainless steel, so it's tougher and not quite as hard. It also maintains its corrosion resistance in temperatures as hot as 1920° F.
