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.
17-4, also known as 630 stainless, can be heat treated to high levels of strength and hardness, and good for machining and is corrosion resistant. Often used in petroleum and chemical industries, as well as in aircraft parts.
Stainless 317 is an austenitic chromium-nickel stainless steel with excellent corrosion resistance. (317 is a modified version of 316). Its high Molybdenum content enhances the grade’s superior pitting resistance. It is the most corrosion resistant of the 300 Series alloys and possesses the highest tensile and creep strength properties at elevated temperatures.
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)
