I have access to a keg that is made of material 1.4301. The material data sheet says "The stainless austenitic chromium-nickel steel 1.4301 shows good corrosion resistance (particularly in natural environmental media and in the absence of considerable chlorine and salt concentrations and sea water) and weldability. Application with acids have to be checked individually. However, after welding 1.4301 is not stable to intergranular corrosion. Good polishing and deep drawing property. It is used in the crude oil industry, chemical industry, petrochemical industry, automobile industry"
Is this a standard stainless steel that you guys are using as boilers?
Suitable keg?

Re: Suitable keg?
It's a bloody long time since I studied metallurgy, but from memory austenitic SS is the magnetic type. Apart from that small difference I'd say that she's a bewdy.

Re: Suitable keg?
Yeah I figured it would be fine. It looks like every other keg I have seen and it was made in 2004. Thanks for the reply. If anyone has any reason not to use it please let me know. I'm going to try and pick it up tomorrow. Thanks
