1.4762 Corrosion Resistance:
Has shown corrosion resistance within the range normally expected of 1.4762 stainless steel.
It is common to be double certified as 1.4762 because the material also meets the slightly higher carbon lower limit of 1.4762 for strength.
1.4762 Heat Resistance:
Good oxidation resistance in intermittent operation at ?1600°F?and continuous operation at ?1690°F?
The material has good oxidation resistance.
Continuous use of 1.4762 in the range of ?800-1580°F?is not recommended if subsequent water resistance is important

1.4762 MEDICAL TECHNOLOGY
Stainless steel is preferred in clean and sterile environments Stainless steel is preferred in clean and sterile environments because it is easy to clean and does not corrode easily. Stainless steel is used in the production of a wide range of medical devices, including surgical and dental instruments.
It is also used in the construction of operating tables, kidney trays, MRI?scanners, cannulas and steam sterilizers.
Most surgical implants, such as replacement joints and artificial hips, and some connecting devices such as stainless steel pins and plates used to repair broken bones are made of stainless steel.
