Definite Guide On Stainless Steel Grades

Stainless steel is a metal alloy, made up of steel mixed with elements such as chromium, nickel, molybdenum, silicon, aluminum, and carbon. Iron mixed with carbon to produce steel is the main component of stainless steel.

Stainless steels are made of some of the basic elements found in the earth: iron ore, chromium, silicon, nickel, carbon, nitrogen, and manganese. Properties of the final alloy are tailored by varying the amounts of these elements. Nitrogen, for instance, improves tensile properties like ductility. It also improves corrosion resistance, which makes it valuable for use in duplex stainless steels.
Stainless Steel Grades are available in different series. All the different series are as under.

200 Series—Austenitic Chromium-Nickel-Manganese Alloys.

300 Series—Austenitic Chromium-Nickel Alloys

Available grades in 300 series: Type 301, Type 302, Type 303, Type 304, Type 309, Type 316, Type 321, etc..

In 300 series 304 & 316 is the most useful grade for various industrial application.

400 Series—Ferritic and Martensitic Chromium Alloys

Available Grades: Type 408, Type 409, Type 410, Type 416, Type 420, Type 430, Type 440

500 Series—Heat Resisting Chromium Alloys

600 Series—Martensitic Precipitation Hardening Alloys

Known as ph stainless steel grade.

Available Grades: 17–4 ph, 17–7 ph, 15–5 ph, 13–8 ph, etc…

Complete Detaied Guide For 303 Austenitic Stainless Steel Bars

Alloy 303 is a non-magnetic, austenitic stainless steel that is not hardenable by heat treatment. It is the free machining modification of the basic 18% chromium / 8% nickel stainless steel. Alloy 303 was specially designed to exhibit improved machinability while maintaining good mechanical and corrosion-resistant properties Due to the presence of sulfur in the steel composition, Alloy 303 is the most readily machineable austenitic stainless steel; however, the sulfur addition does lower Alloy 303’s corrosion resistance to below that of Alloy 304. Like other austenitic grades, Alloy 303 demonstrates excellent toughness, although the sulfur does reduce this a little as well. Ni - 9.00, Cr-18.00, Fe-Balance, Si -1.00, Mn-2.00, C - 0.120,  P-0.040, S - 0.030 Key Properties These properties are specified for the long product (bar) in ASTM A582. Similar but not necessarily identical properties are specified for other products such as wire and forgings in the...

Stainless Steel Applications And Performance in Marine Industry

  Marine industries have a highly demanding environment that requires materials that can withstand the corrosive effects of saltwater and other harsh conditions.  A material that can provide the best resistance and performance under the ocean surface. Wondering what it is? It’s Stainless steel!  Even after a few numbers of materials labels themselves as the best materials for marine applications, Stainless Steel has always overshadowed them with its quality performance.  The reason why Stainless steel is the best choice for marine applications is it doesn’t corrode and weaken in the presence of water or oxidation over time. Stainless has an exceptional ability to survive the salinity of seawater along with harsh sunlight.  Keep reading to learn more about why stainless steel is widely used for marine applications, what type of stainless steel grade to choose from, and a lot more. Why Use Stainless Steel In Marine Applications? Before jumping on Stainless Steel u...
