302HQ Stainless Steel UNS S30430

Also known as XM-7, 304CU, 304HQ Coil, Wire, ASTM A493

Applications

Applications that require severe cold working. Cold heading applications such as bolts, self- tapping screws and blind rivets.

Description

Alloy 302HQ is a specialized wire alloy where the addition of 3.00-4.00 copper substantially reduces the cold work hardening rate over 304 stainless. The alloy is non-magnetic in the annealed condition and remains non-magnetic even after substantial cod working. It has excellent toughness even down to cryogenic temperatures.
