SS 304
|
It is the most widely
used austenitic stainless steel. Popularly known as 18/8 stainless steel,
it has excellent corrosion resistance and forming characteristics. Used
in chemical, petrochemical and fertilizer industries, and as equipment
in dairy, food processing, pharmaceutical industries, in hospitals, households
as kitchenware, cryogenic vessels and as heat exchangers in air conditioning
refrigeration, for machinery in paper, pulp and textile beverage sectors.

SS 304L
|
An austenitic stainless
steel similar to SS 304 with less carbon (0.03% max). It used in place
of SS304 for improved resistance to intergranular corrosion. It is used
for parts and structures which cannot be heat treated for stress relieving
after welding.

SS 309/ SS 309S
|
There are austenitic
stainless steels which are strong and tough. Because of their higher
nickel and chromium content, these are used for applications requiring
high scaling resistance. They find their use for air heaters, annealing
boxes, Chemical Composition oven equipment, boiler baffle plates carburising
boxes, chemical processing equipment, dryers, exhaust manifolds, furnace
parts, gas turbine parts, heat exchangers, jet engine parts, oil burner
parts, oven equipment, petroleum refining equipment, etc.

SS 310/SS 310S
|
These are austenitic
types with higher chromium and nickel content than 309/309S. Because of
their relatively high creep strength and mechanical properties at higher
temperatures these steels find their applications for higher temperatures
and severe service conditions. Used for air heaters annealing boxes, ovens
carurising boxes, fire box sheets, furnace linings, furnace stacks and
dampers, gas turbine parts, heat exchangers, kiln linings, nozzle diaphragm
assemblies for turbo jet engines, oil burners parts, paper mill equipment,
oil refinery equipment, recuperates and so on.

SS 317 / SS317L
|
These are austenitic
stainless steels which are modifications of type SS 316 / SS 316L and
offer increased chromium, nickel and molybdenum ranges for improved
corrosion. resistance. The steels were developed to resist attack of
sumptuous acid compounds. They resist pitting in phosphoric and acetic
acids. Applications includes paper pulp handling equipment, process
equipment for producing photographic chemicals, bleaching solutions
and handling sulphurous, acetic, formic, citric and tartaric acids.
They have best corrosion. resistance to body acids and blood and are
recommended for surgical bone applications.

SS 410/410S
|
SS 410 is the most
commonly used 12% Chromium martens tic stainless steel. Excellent combination
of toughness and strength can be developed through proper heat treatment.
This steel has better corrosion. resistance in the hardened condition.
It is a good choice when good formability and high strength are required
and the end use demands resistance to mildly corrosive environment.
It is used for furnace parts and burners operating below 650 Degree
Centigrade, micrometer parts, tray supports, caps and vaporizers in
petroleum fractionating towers, lining for reaction chambers, coal screens,
fishing tickles, keys, lamp brackets, rules and tapes, wall screens,
steam turbine buckets, blades, bucket covers, pump parts, petrochemical
equipment and press plates. Type SS410 S is a low carbon modification
of SS 410.
