Ferritic stainless steel

Ferritic stainless steel (SUS445J2) is used for the roof exterior of the Kyocera Dome Osaka, Japan.[1]

Ferritic stainless steel[2][3] forms one of the five stainless steel families, the other four being austenitic, martensitic, duplex stainless steels, and precipitation hardened.[4] For example, many of AISI 400-series of stainless steels are ferritic steels. By comparison with austenitic types, these are less hardenable by cold working, less weldable, and should not be used at cryogenic temperatures. Some types, like the 430, have excellent corrosion resistance and are very heat tolerant.[5]
