Grades containing molybdenum have better corrosion resistance.For any given grade, low surface roughness finishes provide a smooth surface, the more corrosion resistant they are the less susceptible to retaining contaminants and easier to clean.

The low thermal expansion enablesbetter flatness and oxydation performancein the heat cycle.

Ferritics behave differently to austenitics and this should be taken into account during drawing by using the swaging method(as opposed to expansion).

Ferritic stainless steel, is magnetic, therefore is the material of choice for induction cooking.
Ferritic stainless steel has better thermal conductivity than austenitic stainless steel.
