Stainless Steel grades at a glance with ASTM specification and equivalent chart
Stainless steel application is very common nowadays in a host of industries and domestic appliances. Stainless steel is corrosion resistant to certain extent depending on the grade and standard of the steel which correspond to the material make and composition of the particular steel. All stainless steel materials contain chromium and carbon. The amounts vary depending on the grades. These two additions make the corrosion resistance and strength properties. Other elements are added in different grades to bring up the strength and the corrosion resistance properties. Molybdenum is an important addition in most compositions. Molybdenum plays a role in adding pitting corrosion attack resistance and resistance against reducing acids. Stainless steel flat products are seen in cookware, surgical instruments and in cutlery. A lot of household items are made up of stainless steel. One most common usage is in the piping. There are pipes and pipe fittings that are made out of stainless steel. The pipes and fittings are used in both domestic applications as well as in industrial applications. The stainless steel industrial products range from pipes to cladding material to tanks and containers. The products are used in transportation industry. The construction industry uses stainless steel for the superior strength. There are different types of stainless steel. The different families of stainless steel are austenitic, ferritic, martensitic and duplex. The duplex steel has both the ferritic and austenitic steel properties. The grades of stainless steel vary with the composition of the material and the makeup procedures. There are hot rolled and annealed; hot rolled, annealed and passivated; cold rolled, annealed, pickled and passivated; bright annealed; brush finished and many other grades. The grades are numbered for universal identities. The stainless steel suppliers sell all kinds of stainless steel in different forms, shapes and sizes. You can contact us for a list of available stainless steel products and for the price inquiry.
