Our 301 half-hard stainless steel sheet and plate offers a perfect compromise between high strength and moderate formability. This material is frequently used for structural clips, brackets, and wear-resistant parts in the transportation and manufacturing sectors. The half-hard temper provides a significantly higher yield strength than annealed versions while still allowing for some bending and shaping. It is prized for its ability to increase in hardness rapidly during cold working, making it a very durable choice. Onlinemetals.com stocks 301 half-hard plates for projects that require a rugged, high-tensile material.
