What is Stainless Steel?
Stainless steel is described as an iron-carbon alloy containing a minimum of 10.5% chromium in metallurgy.
Austenitic Stainless Steels
300 series or austenitic stainless steels account for approximately 60% of the world's total stainless steel production.
Ferritic Stainless Steels
Ferritic stainless steels are generally a group of stainless steels which do not contain nickel but contain high chromium (between 10.5% and 30%), carbide-forming elements such as molybdenum, titanium vanadium, and alloying elements that stabilize the ferritic structure.
Martensitic Stainless Steels
The martensitic stainless steels are similar to low alloy - high strength steels or carbon steels, with structures similar to ferritic steels.
Duplex Stainless Steels
The corrosion performance of these steels, which generally contain equal proportions of ferrite and austenite in their microstructure, varies based on the alloys they contain.
Stainless Steels Hardened with Precipitation/ Precipitation Hardened (PH)
Precipitation-hardened stainless steels, also referred to as “age-hardened stainless steels,” are a type of stainless steel that mainly contains chromium and nickel, and combines the properties of both in its structure, between martensitic and austenitic grades.
