Stainless Steel Specifications

Does any body have data sheets on S155 stainless?
I've had a look around on the web and can't come up with anything.

Try this. According to this info S155 isn't stainless steel. It's a Chromium Nickel Molybdenum Alloy.

Hope this helps,

John,
so grateful for that. I was looking on various websites under Stainless.
I was using EN24 steel drive shafts but the guy who is making my replacement drive shafts for the ZF box has decided that he is going to use this S155 spec.
His description of this steel was that with one end of a drive shaft clamped rigid the opposite end could be rotated by 360 degrees, and then some,
and when released it would revert to normal. I suppose that would depend on how long the shaft is, and obviously the diameter. The F1 shafts he makes are quite tiny by comparison to what I want but it's encouraging.
Thanks again John.
