Stainless Steel 321 has similar composition to 304 Stainless Steels but with addition of Titanium. This alloy has excellent resistance to corrosion and is also ideal for high temperature environments. Stainless Steel 321 is also known as AISI 321, Nirosta 4541, Polarit 731, and Remanit 4541.
Stainless Steel DTD 189A is widely used in the aerospace industry, with some of its specific uses being locking wire and other types of fasteners.
316 Ti has better high temperature strength and mechanical strength than 316L, thanks to the additions of Titanium, which means Stainless Steel 316Ti can be used for extended periods at elevated temperatures without compromising its corrosion resistance. Stainless Steel 316Ti is also known as AISI 316Ti, Supra316Ti, Nirosta 4571, Polarit 761, and Remanit 4571.
Regarded as ‘Medical Grade’, Stainless Steel 316LVM is vacuum melted to achieve the extremely high levels of purity and ‘cleanliness’ required for surgical implants. It has excellent resistance in physiological environments, to general and intergranular corrosion, to pitting and crevice corrosion. These characteristics make it ideal for both medical application and high precision electronics. Stainless Steel 316LVM is also known as AISI 316LVM.
Stainless Steel 316 has slightly better corrosion resistance than 302 and 304, and also has better non-magnetic properties. Stainless Steel 316 shows excellent corrosion and oxidation resistance in a range of atmospheric environments and corrosive media. Stainless Steel 316 is also known as AISI 316.
Stainless Steel 304 is the most widely used stainless steel, and like 302, it has good mechanical properties and corrosion resistance. This alloy can withstand attack in a range of corrosive media, and its durability makes it easy to sanitise, meaning it is ideal for kitchen and food applications. Stainless Steel 304 is also known as AISI 304.
Stainless Steel 302 has good mechanical properties and corrosion resistance, and is well known for its ease of fabrication and formability. Stainless Steel 302 is also known as AISI 302.
Stainless Steel 1.4310 is capable of high tensile strength whilst retaining good ductility following cold work, and displays good levels of corrosion resistance thanks to its levels of Chromium and Nickel. Stainless Steel 1.4310 is widely used in the production of high strength stainless steel springs.
