Stainless Steel Types Applications
302HQ, 305, 410, 430 screw
302, 304H wire rope, spring, vibrating screen
303 free cutting
304M, 304L wire mesh
308 welding
310S, 314 products need to resist high temperature
316, 316L products need to resist acid corroison

Major Types of Stainless Stell:


According to chemical composition, stainless steel can be dividedinto two major types:
1. The chromium-nickel grade, with the AISI/ASTM specification is usually identified as "3" series: 302, 302HQ, 303, 304H, 304L, 305, 308, 310S, 314, 316, and etc.
2. The chromium grade is identified as "4" series: 410, 420, 430 in AISI/ASTM.
