Guide to Stainless Steel Grades - Kloeckner Metals Corporation
2021年11月1日 · The general idea behind grading the metal is that stainless steel can be divided into three broad categories — austenitic, ferritic, and martensitic — based on the crystalline structure of its iron atoms. Each category is further divided into series and grades. The grades reflect the specific alloy’s durability, quality, and temperature resistance.
Main Stainless Steel Grades and Grades Chart - SteelPRO Group
2024年8月8日 · Stainless steel is divided into five main families: austenitic, ferritic, martensitic, duplex, and precipitation hardening. Those families have different grades, like 300 series and 400 series. And 304 and 316 are the most common grades. We will introduce you to the common grades of each family and their properties and applications.
Stainless Steel Grades and Families: Explained - Unified Alloys
To truly understand what separates one type of stainless steel from another, you’ll need to look at its grade. Within families, you’ll find various grades that help to describe specific properties of the alloy such as toughness, magnetism, corrosion resistance and alloy composition.
Different Kinds of Stainless (and how to tell what’s what)
Stainless steel is an extremely common metal, and it’s highly useful since it’s so good at resisting corrosion. There are a lot of different grades of stainless steel. About 150-200 in all, but only around 15 of them are common.
