Stainless steel A-286 is a heat and corrosion-resistant austenitic iron-based material that can be age-hardened to a high strength level. It is designed for use at temperatures up to 704 degrees Celsius (1300 degress Farenheit) where good corrosion resistance, excellent creep strength, and high tensile strength are required. The alloy can also be used for low-temperature applications that require a ductile, non-magnetic high strength material at temperatures below room temperature.
