578.SA

The 578.SA from Ideal-Tek is an anti-magnetic anti-acid stainless steel component positioning tweezer. Tweezer is designed specifically to hold delicate components firmly and safely. The low carbon austenitic steel (Material number 1.4435, DIN X2CrNiMo18-14-3, AISI number 316L) has good corrosion resistance to most chemicals, salts and acids and generally used where corrosion resistance and toughness are primary requirements. It contains from 16.5 to 18.5 wt% chromium and has important quantities of nickel and molybdenum as additional alloying elements. Tweezer is used in electronic industry, watch-makers, jewellers and laboratory and medical applications.
