ASTM A 666 "Austenitic stainless steel sheet, strip, plate and flat bar for
structural applications" defines the properties of annealed and cold rolled
stainless steel intended for use in load carrying structures.
The American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI) prepared and issued an extensive
set of design guidelines based on ASTM A 666 applicable to cold formed and
cold rolled stainless steels intended for use for load carrying purposes in
buildings and other statically loaded structures. These design guidelines are
also intended for structures subject to dynamic effects when appropriate
allowances are made for dynamic effects.
Type 304 stainless steel is the grade most commonly used in structural
applications. The 1972 version of ASTM A 666 gives the properties of four
grades A & B, annealed; C, 1/4 hard; and D, 1/2 hard. The 1984 and later
editions of ASTM A 666 gives these properties in Table 3 under annealed, 1/16,
1/8, 1/4, 1/2 and 3/4 hard but with no reference to the letter designations
used in the 1972 edition and the AISI design manual.
The AISI design guidelines are available from NiDI: NiDI 9 023 "Stainless
steel cold-formed structural steel design manual - 1974 edition"
