Similar to 304 stainless steel, 304L stainless steel has one key difference in its chemical composition. The maximum carbon content of 304 stainless steel is 0.08%, whereas grade 304L stainless steel has a maximum carbon of only 0.03%. This is why the “L” in 304L can be interpreted as extra-low carbon. It is usually used to produce equipment and parts that demand better corrosion resistance and formability.

304 stainless steel, as one of the most commonly used types of stainless steel, is an outstanding material when it comes to corrosion resistance, heat resistance, low temperature strength and mechanical properties. In addition, it has exceptional hot-workability so it leaves no heat treatment hardening phenomenon.

316L stainless steel, similar to 316 stainless steel, has a lower amount of carbon of no more than 0.03% in its composition. This is meant to reduce the risk of carbon precipitation, to make a better choice for welding to achieve maximum corrosion resistance.

405 stainless steel shows excellent corrosion resistance and good mechanical properties as an austenitic stainless steel material. It is widely used in numerous fields, especially in marine engineering, petrochemical industry, food processing and other fields.

444 stainless steel is highly recognized for its excellent corrosion resistance and heat resistance. This stainless steel has a wide range of applications and can show stable performance in a variety of environments.

440C stainless steel is a high carbon martensitic stainless steel with high strength, moderate corrosion resistance, and good hardness and wear resistance. It is capable of attaining the highest strength, hardness and wear resistance of all the stainless alloys after heat treatment.

439 stainless steel is a ferritic stainless steel with large amounts of chromium (approximately 18%) and low carbon content. This combination leads to its excellent corrosion resistance, especially in environments where chloride ions are present.

430 stainless steel is a popular material for a variety of applications for its durability and corrosion resistance. However, welding 430 stainless steel can be challenging with its high chromium content.

420 stainless steel is a high-carbon stainless steel, mainly consisting of chromium, carbon and molybdenum, with good corrosion resistance and strength.

416 stainless steel coil has a chemical composition primarily including iron, chromium, nickel and other elements. 416 stainless steel has excellent corrosion resistance and mechanical properties because of this composition.

410 stainless steel is a commonly used martensitic stainless steel whose main components are iron, carbon, chromium and a small amount of other elements.

409 stainless steel is a ferritic steel with good mechanical properties and high temperature corrosion resistance. It contains 11% chromium, which is the minimum amount required to form the passive surface film that makes stainless steel corrosion-resistant.
