2.Introduction

Stainless steels are high-alloy steels with good corrosion resistancedue to the presence of large amounts of chromium in these steels. Most of thestainless steels contain about 10% of chromium.

Stainless steels are available in three differentgroups based on their crystalline structure. These groups include martensitic,austenitic and ferritic. The combination of martensitic and ferritic steelsforms a fourth group of stainless steels known as precipitation-hardenedsteels.

The following datasheet provides an overview of grade 403 stainless steel.
