About Stainless Steel

STAINLESS STEEL is technically known as " Heat and Corrosion resisting Steels ", which denotes a higher resistance to corrosion and high temperature.

STAINLESS STEEL is iron based alloy contains a minimum of 10.5% Chromium with other alloy elements like Nickel, Molybdenum, Titanium, Niobium etc., etc.,

STAINLESS STEEL has high resistant to corrosion because of chromium content. According to the alloy content the STAINLESS STEEL is classified into three major types :

a) AUSTENITIC (b) FERRITIC (c) MARTENISTIC

The AUSTENITIC Steel is non – magnetic which contains Nickel in addition to Chromium which increases the corrosion resistance. Austenitic Steel is the most widely used among Stainless Steel. The Austenitic Steel can give excellent formability and impact strength and its high temperature resistance at 1100oC is extremely useful for many applications. Austenitic Steel performs at low temperature also.

The FERRITIC Steel is magnetic which has low carbon content and contains Chromium as the main element.

The MARTENISTIC Steel is also magnetic contains 12% Chromium with moderate carbon content.

The STAINLESS STEEL material is available in the shapes of PIPES (Seamless, ERW) SHEETS, PLATES, TUBES, FLATS, STRIPS, ROUND BARS, WIRES, SHIMS, FORGINGS, RINGS, CASTINGS, HOT ROLLED, EXTRUDED, PIPE FITTINGS OF SEAMLESS, ERW, BUTT WELD such as ELBOWS (Long and Short Radius), TEES (Equal and Unequal), BENDS, REDUCERS (Concentric and Ecentric), UNIONS, STUBENDS, CAPS, besides the Complete Range of FASTENERS.
