Detail Information
What is Stainless Steel?
Stainless steel is a type of steel alloy that contains at least 10.5% chromium, which gives it excellent corrosion and rust resistance. When exposed to air or moisture, chromium forms a thin, invisible protective oxide layer on the surface, preventing further oxidation.
Key Characteristics of Stainless Steel
Corrosion-resistant: Performs well in humid, marine, and chemical environments
High strength & durability: Maintains mechanical properties over time
Heat and oxidation resistance: Suitable for high- and low-temperature applications
Hygienic & easy to clean: Widely used in food, medical, and pharmaceutical industries
Attractive appearance: Available in various surface finishes
Common Types of Stainless Steel
Austenitic (e.g., 304, 316) – Excellent corrosion resistance and formability
Ferritic (e.g., 430) – Magnetic, good corrosion resistance, lower cost
Martensitic (e.g., 410) – High strength and hardness
Duplex (e.g., 2205) – High strength with superior corrosion resistance

Notes:
1. Thickness and width ranges are typical; can be customized per customer requirements.
2. Surface finishes can be 2B, BA, No.4, HL, Mirror/8K, or PVC protective film.
3. Processing notes:
Cutting: Laser, plasma, or shearing depending on thickness and grade
Bending: Austenitic and duplex grades bend easily; ferritic and martensitic grades require care
Welding: Austenitic grades easy; duplex, ferritic, and PH grades require correct filler and heat control
