303 Stainless machines well and cuts clean and maintains it resistance to corrosion in temperatures up to 1500 degrees F. Good applications include repeat machining, fittings and fasteners.
Stainless 304, also known as 18-8 stainless, is the most common steel used in a variety of uses because of the ease in which it can be formed into various shapes. Non-magnetic and highly resistant to corrosion makes it a good all-purpose stainless.
Of the 400 series of stainless steels, 400C has the highest carbon content and moderate corrosion resistance and can heat-treat to the highest harness of RC 60. (In contrast, 416 is normally heat treated to RC 26/32)
431 stainless steel is a martensitic stainless steel that is AOD melted. This alloy offers the best corrosion resistance of the conventional martensitic stainless grades. This grade is often used in the aerospace industry as fittings and boltings requiring high yield strength. Stainless 431 also has the best corrosion resistance to marine atmospheres, also resists attack […]
