stainless steels

2011 Aluminium Alloy Round Bar is a high-strength, free-machining aluminium alloy belonging to the 2xxx series. It is derived from 2011 Aluminium Alloy and is well known for its excellent machinability, good mechanical strength, and suitability for precision components. This alloy contains copper as the major alloying element, which improves strength and machining performance, making it ideal for high-speed machining applications.

1050 Aluminium Alloy Round Bar is a commercially pure aluminium grade belonging to the 1xxx series, known for its excellent corrosion resistance, high thermal and electrical conductivity, and superior workability. It is widely used in applications where good formability and surface finish are more important than high strength. 1050 aluminium contains very high aluminium purity, making it ideal for fabrication, electrical, and chemical industry applications.

SS 421 is a martensitic stainless steel grade derived from SS 421 Stainless Steel. It is designed to offer a better balance of strength, toughness, and corrosion resistance compared to SS 420, especially in moderately high-temperature and high-stress applications. SS 421 contains a slightly modified chemical composition that improves thermal stability and mechanical performance.

SS 420 is a high-carbon martensitic stainless steel grade derived from SS 420 Stainless Steel. It is known for its high hardness, excellent wear resistance, and ability to be heat treated to achieve very high strength. SS 420 is often referred to as “cutlery grade stainless steel” due to its widespread use in knives and cutting tools.

SS 416 is a free-machining martensitic stainless steel grade derived from SS 416 Stainless Steel. It is specially designed to provide improved machinability compared to SS 410, achieved by adding sulfur. This makes SS 416 one of the easiest stainless steels to machine. SS 416 offers good strength and moderate corrosion resistance, but its primary advantage is high-speed machining capability.

SS 410 is a martensitic stainless steel grade derived from SS 410 Stainless Steel. It is known for its high strength, hardness, and moderate corrosion resistance. Unlike austenitic grades such as SS 304 or SS 316, SS 410 can be heat treated to achieve high hardness and wear resistance. SS 410 is magnetic and widely used in applications where strength and wear resistance are more important than high corrosion resistance.

SS 321 is a titanium-stabilized austenitic stainless steel grade derived from SS 321 Stainless Steel. It is designed to provide excellent resistance to intergranular corrosion, especially after exposure to high temperatures during welding or service. The addition of titanium helps stabilize the carbon in the steel, preventing carbide precipitation and making SS 321 highly suitable for elevated temperature applications.

SS 317L is a molybdenum-rich low-carbon austenitic stainless steel grade derived from SS 317L Stainless Steel. It is designed for superior corrosion resistance, especially in highly aggressive chemical and chloride-rich environments, outperforming SS 316 and SS 304 in many severe applications. The “L” stands for Low Carbon, which improves weldability and prevents intergranular corrosion after welding.

SS 310 is a high-temperature austenitic stainless steel grade derived from SS 310 Stainless Steel. It is specially designed for applications involving extreme heat, offering excellent oxidation resistance, high strength, and stability at elevated temperatures. SS 310 contains high levels of chromium and nickel, which provide superior performance in continuous high-temperature service compared to standard stainless steels like SS 304 and SS 316.

SS 316L is the low-carbon version of the molybdenum-bearing stainless steel grade derived from SS 316L Stainless Steel. The “L” stands for Low Carbon, which improves weldability and significantly reduces the risk of carbide precipitation during welding. SS 316L offers the same excellent corrosion resistance as SS 316, but with better performance in welded structures and highly corrosive environments.

SS 316 is a high-performance austenitic stainless steel grade derived from SS 316 Stainless Steel. It is known for its superior corrosion resistance, especially in marine, chemical, and chloride-rich environments, compared to SS 304. The addition of molybdenum (Mo) significantly enhances its resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion, making it one of the most reliable stainless steels for harsh conditions.

SS 304L is a low-carbon version of the widely used austenitic stainless steel grade derived from SS 304L Stainless Steel. The “L” stands for Low Carbon, which improves weldability and reduces the risk of carbide precipitation during welding, making it ideal for corrosion-critical applications. SS 304L offers similar corrosion resistance to SS 304 but performs better in welded structures and highly corrosive environments.
