Stainless Steels – Reliable Materials for Strength, Cleanliness, and Corrosion Resistance

Stainless steel is a family of iron-based alloys containing a minimum of 10.5% chromium, renowned for its excellent corrosion resistance, mechanical strength, and aesthetic appearance. With outstanding formability, hygiene properties, and durability, stainless steels are widely used in industries such as construction, food processing, energy, and medical equipment.

Stainless Steels – Reliable Materials for Strength, Cleanliness, and Corrosion Resistance Description

Key Material Advantages

Excellent Corrosion Resistance: Resists rust and chemical attack in various environments including marine, acidic, and high-humidity conditions.

High Mechanical Strength: Maintains toughness and fatigue resistance across a wide range of temperatures.

Hygienic and Easy to Clean: Ideal for sanitary applications; non-reactive with food, pharmaceuticals, and chemicals.

Good Formability and Weldability: Suitable for stamping, bending, welding, and machining with consistent surface finish.

Aesthetic Appeal: Offers a clean, modern appearance with various finishes (mirror, brushed, matte).

 

Common Grades

Austenitic Stainless Steels: 304 (S30400), 316 (S31600), 321 – Most common; excellent corrosion resistance

Ferritic Stainless Steels: 430, 409 – Lower cost, good oxidation resistance

Martensitic Stainless Steels: 410, 420 – High hardness and wear resistance

Duplex Stainless Steels: 2205, S31803 – High strength with superior pitting resistance

Precipitation-Hardening (PH) Grades: 17-4PH (S17400), 15-5PH High strength, corrosion-resistant, heat-treatable
