 |
|
While thousands of different types of stainless steel alloys can be produced, most alloys will fall into one of three categories.
Austenitic stainless steel
This stainless steel has two main characteristics. First, austenitic stainless steels contain large amounts of chromium during production. Items made from this material are more resistant to corrosion. Second, these items tend to be non-magnetic, although they can be made magnetic through a cold-forming process. These are the most common types of stainless steel alloys.
Ferritic stainless steel
This stainless steel is the second most common type of alloy and is also magnetic. Items produced with this alloy can be hardened by cold forming and tend to be less expensive than other types of products due to the lower nickel content.
Martensitic stainless steel
This material is the least common type of stainless steel alloy. Martensitic stainless steels are used in applications requiring high tensile strength or impact resistance. In many cases, this material is also combined with a protective polymer coating to improve corrosion resistance |
