---|---|
303 | Stainless Steel Bar Stock: High in Corrosion resistance: Typically used in automatic machining operations. |
304 | Stainless Steel Tubing: Good in Corrosion resistance: Most widely used stainless steel with good formability and can be readily welded. |
304L | Stainless Steel Tubing: Good in Corrosion resistance: Offers better weld-ability than standard 304 Stainless Steel. |
316 | Stainless Steel Tubing: Better in Corrosion resistance: Offers higher strength at higher temperature than 304 Stainless Steel. Often used for pumps, valves, marine applications, and chemical equipment. |
316L | Stainless Steel Tubing: Better in Corrosion resistance:Offers better weld-ability than standard 316 Stainless Steel. |
321 | Stainless Steel Tubing: Good in Corrosion resistance: Most similar to 304 Stainless Steel but with the addition of Titanium making it an excellent choice for prolonged, high temperature applications. |
347 | Stainless Steel Tubing: High in Corrosion resistance: High resistance to prolonged heat and corrosion applications. This is well suited for power generation and engine applications. |
430 | Stainless Steel Tubing: Good in Corrosion resistance:Combines good corrosion and heat resistance with good mechanical properties. Oxidation resistant to 1500 deg F and is used in many industrial and consumer products. |
