Stainless Steel Technical Specifications
AISI TYPE | Features | Scope of application |
304 | It is the basic type of stainless steel. It provides high oxidation strength up to 400 ° C. Mechanical resistance and friction resistance is very good. | It is used in chemical, petrochemical, food, kitchen, automotive, medical industry, boilers, and heat exchangers. |
304L | It is a low carbon version of TP 304. High oxidation resistance up to 450 ° C. | It is used in chemical, mineral, oil and chemical storage tanks. It is usually used at temperatures below 400 ° C. |
316 | It provides high oxidation strength up to 650 ° C, mechanical breakage and shrinkage resistance, also provides high oxidation resistance due to molybdenum in its structure. | It is used in chemical, petrochemical, food, textile, paper industry, marine and industrial atmosphere conditions. |
316L | Low carbon version of TP 316. At temperatures above 500 ° C, there is no frictional resistance. High oxidation resistance up to 400 ° C. | It is used in chemical, petrochemical, food, textile, paper industry, marine and industrial atmosphere conditions. It is usually used at temperatures below 400 ° C. |
430 | 430 is a non-hardenable steel containing straight chromium, and belongs to the ferritic group of steels. This steel is known for its good corrosion resistance and formability, coupled with practical mechanical properties. | It is used in kitchen equipment, household appliances, sinks, flanges and valves |
201 | Manufactured as an alternative to 304-30L quality with the cheaper cost. It is made of low carbon, ferritic stainless steel. Contains 1% to 5% Nickel. | It is used in kitchen equipment, household appliances, sinks, automotive parts, decorations. |
