"Resistance to Household Bleach"

Question:

"Is there a stainless steel that can withstand daily washing with full strength household bleach? The stainless steel parts such as cap screws and machined plates on a medical instrument our client produces do not stand up to repeated washing with bleach."

Answer:

You might consider the superaustenitics such as AL6XN and Sanicro 28 stainless steels. I would conduct laboratory corrosion tests before significant commitments of time and money though.
