STAINLESS STEEL
Stainless steels are a family of iron based alloys that contain a minimum of 10.5% chromium (CR). The presence of chromium creates an invisible surface film that resists oxidation and makes the material passive or corrosion resistant. There are multiple families of stainless steel which are designed for various applications and uses. Stainless grades can be further modified to meet various processing, corrosion, temperature and strength conditions.
Grades
Our stainless steel is available in 300, 400 and 200 series. Each type has its own characteristics. The most popular grades are, 304 which can be easily roll-formed or shaped and due to its excellent corrosion resistance and weldability, it is one of the most popular grades available. 316 is an alloy that contains molybdenum which increases the corrosion resistance and is particularly effective in acidic environments as it provides a greater resistance to pitting corrosion. 321 is a variation of 304 with the addition of titanium, it is resistant to intergranular corrosion and has excellent weldability. Type 430 is a ferritic stainless steel alloy which offers good corrosion resistance and is predominately used in the domestic and catering industries.
Description
Finishes
| Finish | Description |
|---|---|
| 2B | Smooth finish, reflective grey sheen. Most widely used surface finish. |
| Bright Annealed (BA) | Cold rolled, annealed in a controlled atmosphere to retain a highly reflective finish. |
| Dull Polish (DP) | Selected for ease of cleaning, brushed look, non-reflective, used extensively in the catering industry, also push plates and kick plates. |
| Hot Rolled (HR) | Scaled finish, ideal if surface finish is not a key concern. |
