Construction materials, kitchen utensils,
automobile trim, oil refinery, chemical, paper and
food-processing industries, electronic
components. 304L : 18Cr-8Ni-0.03C A special AISI 304 grade
for use where carbide precipitation after welding is
undesirable.
Chemical and petrochemical equipment, nuclear reactor
equipment, electronic components, oil-refining equipment, etc.
305 : 18Cr-12Ni
Suites for deep drawing because of lower
cold rolled than 304. Door
knobs, TV tubes, relays, switches
301 : 17Cr-7Ni This grade can be cold worked to
very high strength
levels. Corrosion resistance to somewhat inferior to AISI
304. Rolling
stock, automobiles, home appliances various types of
spring, etc
316
: 18Cr-12Ni-2.5Mo
Highly resistant to such reducing acids as
sulphuric, sulphurous, acetic and hydrochloric acids.
Also, high creep strength at elevated temperatures. Strong
resistance to salt. Paper,
textile, and chemical industries
316L : 18Cr-12Ni-2.5Mo-0.03C
A
special AISI316 grade intended for use where carbide precipitation after welding is
undesirable. NM : 16Cr-14Ni
Superior deep drawing and non-magnetic
Electronic components, TV gun
parts
430 : 18Cr Representative stainless steel of
ferritic type. Excellent corrosion resistivity in weak
corrosive atmosphere, and to nitric acid. Small work
hardenability and high degree of ductility. Therefore,
excellent deep-drawability but not suitable for forming.
Excellent luster obtainable by BA finish or polishing. Kitchen
utensils, automobile trim, articles of daily use in the home,
gas burner, parts for nitric acid plant, etc 434 :
18Cr-1Mo Corrosion resistance better than
Type 430 because of Mo
addition Wheel
cover, trim, hub caps, bicycle rim, etc
FCH2 : 20Cr-3Al
Heat resistant material for use 1,300C temperature. Boiler burner, heater parts
420J2 : 13Cr-0.3C
High carbon content results in high abrasion
resistance. Greater hardness may be
obtained by heat treatment Cutlery, machine parts TV
components, etc
