Stainless Steel
Stainless Steel alloys are classified into five main categories: Austenitic, Ferritic, Martensitic, Duplex, and Precipitation Hardening. Each category offers unique properties and advantages, making them suitable for a variety of applications. All stainless steel grades contain chromium, which provides excellent corrosion and oxidation resistance. The addition of chromium helps create a protective oxide surface, enhancing the corrosion resistance of Stainless Steel. By incorporating different alloying elements, subtle changes in composition can alter the microstructures of the material, leading to a wide range of versatile mechanical properties.
Thicknesses ranging from:
0.05mm – 4.0mm

| 1.4301 | X5 Cr Ni 18-10 | 304S31 | 304 | S 30400 | The most common grade of Stainless Steel due to its versatility. It has a high nickel content to increase strength, hardness and ductility. Its popularity can it part be attributed to this alloy's superior formability, welding and deep drawing properties. A high chromium content also provides excellent corrosion resistance in oxidizing environments and moderate protection in some acidic conditions. High hardness and strength can be achieved through cold working. Although a non-magnetic grade, magnetic properties can arise through cold working. | Food, Medical, Automotive, Cryogenic, Springs & Pressings, Pharmaceutical |
| 1.4307 | X2 Cr Ni 18-9 | 304S11 | 304L | S 30403 | The low Carbon version of 304 (1.4301) is ideal for more corrosive environments with oxidation resistance to a maximum temperature of 899°C (1650°F) without appreciable scaling. It offers greater resistance to intergranular corrosion in welds and moderate pitting corrosion resistance. It has good welding characteristics, though other grades are better suited for applications specifying stress relief. | Medical, Automotive, Springs & Pressings |
| 1.4404 | X2 Cr Ni Mo 17-12-2 | 316S14 | 316L | S 31603 | The Low Carbon version of 316 (1.4401), offers better corrosion resistance and is better suited for uses at sensitization temperatures, such as welding, as intergranular corrosion resistance is increased. Slightly more corrosion resistant than 316 (1.4401). More heavily alloyed, this grade has excellent corrosion resistance in Food, Beverage and Agricultural applications. | Chemical Processing, Petrochemical, Automotive, Marine, Food, Agricultural |
