Form:

This specification covers a corrosion-resistant steel in the form of bars, wire, forgings, extrusions, flash welded rings, and stock for forging, extruding, or flash welded rings.

Application:

These products have been used typically for parts requiring excellent corrosion resistance and high strength from -423 to +1100 °F (-253 to +593 °C) and for welded parts without subsequent heat treatment, but usage is not limited to such applications.
