Type 420 stainless steel is a general purpose steel and possesses similar qualities to the 410 grade, but contains more carbon which provides improved hardness and strength when heat treated. 420 stainless has good mechanical and machining properties.
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.
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.
Alloy 321 (UNS S32100) contains increased titanium for improved strength and heat resistance, making it ideal for applications range of 800 – 1500°F (427 – 816°C). It has excellent resistance to intergranular corrosion. A popular aircraft alloy.
