BS S527 Stainless Steel Sheet
British Standard aerospace material grade.
BS S527 - soft annealed stainless sheets and strips stabilised with niobium.
BS S527 is the aerospace British Standard equivalent of 347 stainless steel. The alloy is often supplied dual-certified with the US aerospace specification AMS 5512. BS S527 is classed as an austenitic chromium-nickel stainless steel. The alloy is stabilised with niobium which strengthens the material and reduces the risk of intergranular corrosion. The alloy offers suitability for producing low-strength components, particularly in aerospace applications. Examples include aerospace body parts and panels, grease and soap production parts and food processing components.
Good workability
BS S527 offers good cold workability, good corrosion resistance and good workability. The tensile strength of the alloy is 540 N/mm².
Stock Availability
We supply the material in soft annealed sheets and strips, which we also process for you in-house, courtesy of our dedicated guillotine operations. Our stock of BS S527 stainless steel sheets is available in various sizes.
Ultrasonic Inspection
As part of our commitment to quality, we offer ultrasonic inspection services which accurately test your materials for hidden defects.
