The Stainless Steel Material Grade Chemical Composition

Inquiries : 0 - 2016/3/22 13:05:47

Martensitic, Ferritic, Austenitic and Duplex are four groups of Stainless Steel. The composition of stainless steel initial starts withchromium. once steel is combined with 10.5% chromium the resultant alloy isclassed as "stainless steel". when chromium is added to steel, oxygen creates a stable chemical compound surface film. This protects the surface ofthe steel metal from physical or chemical changes.

The list below makes a big comparison composition table for Stainless Steel Grades.
