I have a spring steel application for use in the medical industry. The material can be cleaned with up to a 10% solution of bleach (at room temperature). I'm looking at spring tempered (full hard) type 301 stainless steel. Would this be the best (non-corrosive) material for repeated cleaning? If not, what cost effective alternative would you look at? Thanks!

Kim: Depending on the critical nature of the spring service and its desired service life, a repeated 10% bleach solution could potentiall cause pitting of the 301SS spring material with fatigue cracking initiating at the pitted sites. I suggest considering a nickel alloy, such as 718, or a hardenable titanium alloy. Alloy MP35N is also extensively used as a high strength, high corrosion resistant spring alloy. Hope this helps!
