Types of Stainless Steel
Grade 303 Stainless Steel
Grade 303 is the most machinable material amongst the stainless steels. It is specifically designed for applications that involve extensive machining during production. The addition of sulphur and phosphorus improves its machinability and resistance to galling but slightly reduces its corrosion resistance compared to Grade 304.
Grade 304 Stainless Steel
Grade 304 is the most commonly used and versatile stainless steel grade, available in more forms, finishes, and applications than any other type. Its balanced structure allows for deep drawing without the need for intermediate annealing, making it ideal for forming complex shapes. It also provides excellent oxidation resistance, withstanding intermittent extreme temperatures.
Grade 316 Stainless Steel
Following Grade 304, Grade 316 is the second most widely used austenitic stainless steel. It maintains excellent toughness even at cryogenic temperatures. It offers superior corrosion resistance in a wide range of environments and atmospheric conditions.
Grade 410 Stainless Steel
Grade 410 is a fundamental stainless steel known for achieving high mechanical strength through heat treatment. It offers a well-balanced combination of toughness, ductility, and corrosion resistance, along with good scaling resistance up to 649°C. These properties make it ideal for applications that demand both strength and durability in challenging or high-temperature environments.
