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 by many petroleum products and organic materials, and several acidic environments.
Stainless steel 410 is a basic martensitic grade which contains 11.5% chromium, offering both exceptional wear and corrosion resistance. 410 is generally used for applications which involve mild corrosion, high strength, and heat resistance.
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.
