If you have stainless steel parts to be machined by CNC,we are one of the most capable and affordable sources.
Which stainless steel types are popular?
Austenitic stainless steel: marked by 200 and 300 series number. Its microstructure is austenite. Common types are the following:
1Cr18Ni9Ti（321）、0Cr18Ni9（302）、00Cr17Ni14M02（316L)
Advantages: easy to welding, good plasticity (not easy to break), deformation, good stability (not easy to rust), easy passivation.
Disadvantages: particularly sensitive to medium in solution that has chloride, prone to stress corrosion.
Ferritic stainless steel: marked by 400 series number. Its internal microstructure is ferrite, and its chromium mass fraction is in the range of 11.5% ~ 32.0%.
Common types are the following:
00Cr12、1Cr17（430）、00Cr17Mo、00Cr30Mo2、Crl7、Cr17Mo2Ti、Cr25，Cr25Mo3Ti、Cr28
Advantages: high chromium content, good thermal conductivity, stability is better, good heat dissipation.
Disadvantages: poor mechanical properties and process performance.
Martensitic stainless steel: marked by 400 series number. Its microstructure is martensitic. The mass fraction of chromium in this kind of steel is 11.5% ~ 18.0%.
Common types are the following:
1Cr13（410）、2 Cr13（420）、3 Cr13、1 Cr17Ni2
Advantages: high carbon content, high hardness.
Disadvantages: poor plasticity and weldability.
What Application Do Stainless Steel Mainly Used For?
