Application 

304 : 18Cr-8Ni
  
Most representative stainless steel. Excellent resistance to atmospheric corrosion and industrial chemical, improved formability and weldablity. High creep strength at elevated temperatures and good acid-resistance.



usage

  
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
