Many Type of Stainless Steel and Their Application
Stainless Steel have several type and each type should be applied to certain purpose. If the steel is applied to in purpose uses then some problem can happen like the strength of stainless steel is not strong enough or can be just the price will too expensive.
Stainless Steel 301
Stainless steel 301 better applied to high strength grade application, the resistance corrosion expose to atmosphere is good, this steel include of mild steel. Brightness and attractive surface make it is an excellent choice for decorative structural application.
Stainless Steel 304
Stainless steel 304 is used in more high variety of home commercial application. The most familiar and frequency to use, this include of steel alloy, other application include of sanitary, cryogenic and pressure condition. Home and commercial appliances, also can use in tank structural parts and processing equipment.
Stainless Steel 309
Stainless Steel 309 more use in elevated temperature application, some other steel can’t applied to this condition because can broke the stainless chemical bound. This stainless steel can be use as furnace parts, conveyor belt, roller, burner parts, refractory support, retorts and oven linings, fans, tube hanger, baskets and trays to hold small parts. For chemicals container that very strong like sulfuric acid better use the higher grade of stainless steel. This steel can use for middle stronger chemical like ammonia, acetic acid and others.
Stainless Steel 310/S
This stainless steel can stand to corrosion including furnace parts as conveyor and belts, rollers, burner parts. refractory support, retorts and oven linings, fans, tube hanger, baskets and trays to hold small parts. Stainless Steel 310/S can use for hot soft chemicals like acetic acid, ammonia and other food processing industry.
Stainless Steel 316
Stainless steel 316 have very good stand to corrosion, can use for elevated temperature application, including handling hot organic chemicals such as fatty acids, boat rails and hardware container and facades of building near the ocean.
Stainless Steel 316 L
This stainless steel 316 L type is greater type than stainless steel 316, can use for hot chemicals storage and more stand to corrode. But the price of this steel are also higher than stainless steel 316.
Stainless Steel 321
Stainless steel 321 have stability with offer excellent resistance to corrosion following exposure to temperature between 800 to 1500 F degrees. This steel can be applied for boiler and pressure vessel.
