Stainless steel
Stainless steel: stainless steel 301 and stainless steel 304
Metal Rolling Services offers you stainless steel 301 or stainless steel 304 strips for your activity, and other alloys on request.
Stainless steel is an alloy of iron and carbon. It contains at least 10.5% chromium, alloying elements and less than 1.2% carbon. Its chromium content gives this alloy its high resistance to corrosion. It is durably protected against all types of corrosion. The corrosion resistance of stainless steel and its physical properties can be modified. It is possible to add components such as nickel, titanium, manganese, etc. to the alloy.
Application of stainless steel :
Due to its high corrosion resistance, stainless steel is a material of choice for all kinds of applications:
- Food industry
- Decoration
- Dairy
- Goldsmithing
- Household appliances
- Outdoor architecture
Stainless steel 301, Stainless steel 1.4310
One of the simplest austenitic stainless steels. Its corrosion resistance is much lower than that of type 304 for example. But it is generally superior to that of ferritic or martensitic stainless steels. Stainless steel 301 is easily formed when cold (bending, stamping, deep drawing).
