Versatile austenitic grades
304 and 304L are widely specified austenitic stainless steels for fabricated equipment, architectural work and general industrial components. The lower-carbon 304L variant is often selected for welded fabrication where the governing specification and service conditions support its use.
View detailsMolybdenum-bearing austenitic grade
316L is a low-carbon, molybdenum-bearing austenitic stainless steel commonly considered when corrosion conditions are more demanding than typical 304 service. Chloride level, temperature, cleaning regime and fabrication details still need application-specific review.
View detailsChromium-nickel-manganese austenitic grade
201 stainless steel is used in cost-sensitive decorative and formed products when its corrosion performance is suitable for the environment. It should not be substituted for 304 solely on appearance or price; grade, exposure and fabrication requirements must be checked.
View detailsFerritic stainless steel
430 is a chromium ferritic stainless steel used for decorative panels, appliance components and other moderately corrosive environments. Its magnetic response, forming behavior, weldability and corrosion resistance differ from common austenitic grades and should be considered during selection.
View detailsHeat-resistant austenitic grades
310S and 309S are austenitic stainless steels considered for elevated-temperature oxidation resistance and heat-related fabrication. Grade selection depends on continuous or cyclic temperature, atmosphere, mechanical load and the governing design code.
View detailsTitanium-stabilized austenitic grade
321 is a titanium-stabilized austenitic stainless steel used where welded fabrication and elevated-temperature exposure make stabilization relevant. It should be selected against the governing standard, service temperature, corrosion environment and fabrication route.
View detailsDuplex stainless steel
2205 is a duplex stainless steel that combines higher strength than common austenitic grades with resistance to several chloride-related corrosion mechanisms. Successful use depends on the service environment, product standard, fabrication controls and heat treatment condition.
View detailsSuper duplex stainless steel
2507 is a highly alloyed super duplex stainless steel considered for severe chloride-bearing and high-strength applications. It requires careful specification, fabrication control and technical review; 2507 should not be chosen as a simple upgrade without evaluating the complete service conditions.
View detailsHigh-alloy austenitic stainless steel
904L is a high-nickel, molybdenum-bearing austenitic stainless steel with copper additions, used for selected aggressive process environments. Suitability depends on media, concentration, temperature, contaminants, fabrication and the governing design standard.
