Product details

Type 301 has excellent corrosion resistance, high strength and ductility. 301 grade stainless is a common material for shims.

Type 302 resists oxidation, easy fabrication, easy to clean, high strength with low weight. Used for utensils, cookware, and stainless flatware.

Type 304, 304L serves a wide range of applications. It withstands ordinary rusting in architecture, it is resistant to food processing environments, it resists organic chemicals, dyestuffs, and a wide variety of inorganic chemicals.

Type 305 low work hardening, high strength to weight ratio, attractive finish, easy to fabricate and clean, excellent for free spinning and cold heading. Typical uses are spring clips, mechanical components.

Type 316, 316L contains slightly more nickel than type 304 giving it better resistance to corrosion than type 304, especially in chloride environments that tend to cause pitting. 316L has superior intergranular corrosion resistance after welding or stress relieving. Easy to maintain, good pitting resistance, superior creep strength, and close tolerances
