A105 is a spec found on some types of carbon steel round bars. The term "ferritic" would not apply.

Ferritic stainless steels contain larger amounts of Cr which stabilizes the ferritic phase. Ferritic stainless steels are highly corrosion resistant, but far less durable than austenitic grades and cannot be hardened by heat treatment. They contain between 10.5% and 27% chromium and very little nickel, if any. Typical applications may include appliances, automotive and architectural trim (i.e., decorative purposes), as the cheapest stainless steels are found in this family (type 409).
