Stainless steels are often considered as high alloy steels. Since they have more chromium, they have superior corrosion resistance as relatively to other steels. Stainless Steel is categorized into 3 types, based on their crystalline composition, i.e, Ferritic, Austenitic, and Martensitic, steels. Precipitation-hardened steels is the 4th category consisting of martensitic and ferritic steels. The Stainless Steel…
3 Common Mistakes Made When Handling Stainless Steel
Producing components with stainless steel is a smart choice for durability and product longevity because of its natural oxide protection layer. However, warping, corrosion, or even metallurgical changes can occur if best practices are not used. Metalworkers new to stainless, as well as experienced welders and fabricators in a hurry, must pay careful attention to…
Guide to choosing the right stainless steel grade
Stainless steel, which is best known for its corrosion resistance, is used in a wide range of applications. Because of the wide range of grades available, it can be used for a wide variety of applications across a wide range of industries. Having too many grades, however, necessitates the need to pick the best one…

What is the Difference Between Duplex and Super Duplex Stainless Steel
Duplex and Super Duplex Stainless Steel is highly demanded material in the industrial sectors. These materials are popular due to chemical composition of 50% ferrtic and 50% austenitic stainless steel. Due to this two phase structure Duplex and Super Duplex Stainless Steel offers excellent benefits and increased strength that other grades. These materials are differentiated…
A Brief Overview on SS 446 Seamless Pipe
SS 446 Seamless pipe is a pipe without a weld joint and has uniform structure over the body. Due to this feature these pipes offer excellent strength to withstand high pressure and temperature conditions. It is a pipe that connected to other pipe without any joint. The seamless pipe is available in a diverse range…
Types of 310S Fasteners
Stainless steel 310 grade is a carbon-containing austenitic stainless steel. Besides carbon, the material consists of another element such as Chromium and Nickel. These two elements make fasteners highly resistant to corrosion and oxidation processes. Various types of 310S fasteners can work in an environment containing the presence of reducing agents such as hydrogen, sulphur,…
Importance Feature of Duplex Stainless Steel
Duplex stainless steel is ferritic-austenitic steels which contain high levels of chromium and nitrogen. These materials make them highly resistant to localized and uniform corrosion. Duplex stainless steel offers excellent resistance against crevice and pitting corrosion. It has adequate strength and weldability. This type of stainless steel has low thermal expansion which makes them the…
Different Grades of Stainless Steel Fasteners Explained
For improved corrosion characteristics, stainless steel is an alloy of low carbon steel and chromium. Stainless steel is for the price, highly corrosion resistant. As the anti-corrosive properties of the metal are intrinsic, if scratched during installation or use, it will not lose this resistance. That stainless steel is stronger than standard steel is a…
What Are the Varying Grades of Stainless Steel Fasteners?
Stainless steel is a low carbon steel and chromium content but offers high corrosion resistance. Stainless steel, because of its stability, strength and anti-corrosive and high heat properties, is one of the most popular materials used for fasteners. A flexible, economical alloy benefits from the combination of steel strength with its superior anti-corrosion and heat-resistance…
