Applications of Popular Stainless Steel Grades

We are leading stainless steel manufacturers and suppliers. Our wide range of alloys is suitable for diverse industrial applications. We will review some of the common stainless steel grades in this blog and discuss their typical applications.

304 Stainless Steel

The versatile 304 is one of most commonly used stainless steels. The 304 alloy is a versatile stainless steel with excellent corrosion resistance and forming.

  • Equipment for the kitchen such as sinks, appliances and pots and pans
  • Architectural trim, railings, roofing
  • Food processing and pharmaceutical equipment
  • Chemical tanks, piping and valves
  • Appliances and construction commonly use 304 stainless sheet and plate.

Stainless Steel 316

The molybdenum in 316 stainless steel provides improved resistance to corrosion and pitting. It is often used in environments that contain chlorides or acetic acid. Applications include:

  • Boat propellers, fittings and marine environments
  • Chemical processing equipment
  • Manufacturing of pulp and paper
  • The 316 stainless steel plate and sheet perform well in corrosive environments.

Stainless Steel 430

The 430 stainless steel has a moderate corrosion resistance and is used for a variety of applications.

  • Dishwasher liners and panels
  • Trim and exhaust components for automobiles
  • Tanks and Process Vessels at Low Cost
  • Architectural decorative panels and fixtures
  • The 430 stainless sheet is easy to form and weld.

Duplex Stainless Steels

Duplex stainless steels have twice the strength of austenitic grade and are perfect for applications that require corrosion resistance. Uses include:

  • Desalination plants, marine environments
  • Parts structural like beams and braces
  • Chemical transport and processing equipment
  • The Duplex stainless steel sheet combines the strength and corrosion resistance of steel with the durability of steel.
