AM-355 AMS 5743; AMS 5744

AM-355 is a chromium-nickel-molybdenum stainless steel. It offers high strength at moderately elevated temperatures and its corrosion resistance is superior to other quench-hardenable martensitic stainless steels.  Higher strengths can also be obtained through cold working processes.
