330 is an austenitic nickel-iron-chromium alloy metled as AOD melt type. This grade is comprised of approximately 36% nickel giving it excellent high temperature oxidation resistance up to 2200oF. 330 stainless remains fully austenitic at all temperatures and is not subject to embrittlement from sigma formation. It has a solid solution composition and is not hardenable by heat treatment.
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.
Stainless 422 is a hardenable, martensitic stainless steel with better strength at higher temperatures as high as 1200 F. It is capable of being heat treated to various high strength levels.
Type 403 stainless is a corrosion and heat resistant 12% Cr martensitic alloy, very similar to stainless type 410, with the exception of a slightly lower maximum silicon content and a slightly lower maximum chromium content. Good levels of strength, toughness and ductility may be obtained with this alloy.
