317 Stainless Steel

Stainless steel 430 is a ferritic, straight chromium, non-hardenable grade, combining good corrosion resistance and formability characteristics with useful mechanical properties. Its ability to resist nitric acid attack permits its use in specific chemical applications but automotive trim and appliance components represents its largest fields of application. Alloy 430 has poor weldability compared to most […]

431 stainless steel is a martensitic stainless steel that is AOD melted.  This alloy offers the best corrosion resistance of the conventional martensitic stainless grades. This grade is often used in the aerospace industry as fittings and boltings requiring high yield strength. Stainless 431 also has the best corrosion resistance to marine atmospheres, also resists attack […]
