Advantages of Ordinary Stainless Steel

Ordinary stainless steel refers to widely used stainless steel grades that provide reliable corrosion resistance, mechanical strength, and durability for general industrial applications. These materials typically contain chromium as the primary alloying element, which forms a protective oxide layer on the surface and helps prevent corrosion.

Instructions

1

Excellent Corrosion Resistance

The chromium content in stainless steel forms a passive oxide layer that protects the material from rust and corrosion in many environments.

Strong Corrosion and Oxidation Resistance
2

Good Mechanical Strength

Stainless steel provides strong mechanical performance and durability, making it suitable for structural and load-bearing components.

High Temperature Resistance

Many stainless steel grades can maintain their mechanical properties at elevated temperatures.

Excellent High Temperature Resistance
4

Easy Fabrication and Welding

Most stainless steel grades offer good weldability and fabrication properties, which allows them to be easily processed into various industrial components.

Common Ordinary Stainless Steel Grades

Common stainless steel categories include austenitic stainless steel, ferritic stainless steel, martensitic stainless steel, and duplex stainless steel. Each type offers different combinations of strength, corrosion resistance, and machinability to meet various industrial requirements.

Ferritic Stainless Steel (400 Series) – Cost-Effective


High in chromium but不含镍, ferritic stainless steels are low-cost with moderate corrosion resistance. They are magnetic, have good formability, but relatively poor weldability.

  • 430 (1Cr17)‌: The most common ferritic stainless steel, widely used in appliance housings, automotive trim, and building roofing due to its excellent cost-performance ratio.
  • 409L (00Cr11Ti)‌: Low-cost grade with good heat resistance, primarily used in automotive exhaust systems.
  • 434, 436L‌: Molybdenum is added to enhance corrosion resistance, used in automotive interiors and fuel systems.

Ferritic stainless steels are mainly applied in indoor environments or automotive sectors where corrosion resistance requirements are not extremely high.

Duplex Stainless Steel – High Strength + High Corrosion Resistance

Combining characteristics of both austenitic and ferritic structures, duplex stainless steels have twice the strength of 304 and excellent resistance to stress corrosion cracking.

  • 2205 (S22253 / 022Cr23Ni5Mo3N)‌: The most common duplex steel, used in seawater treatment, chemical pipelines, and offshore platforms.
  • 2507 (S32750)‌: A super duplex steel with exceptional resistance to chloride ion corrosion, designed for extreme corrosive environments.

Duplex stainless steels are increasingly used in high-end industrial applications.

Austenitic Stainless Steel (300 Series) – Most Widely Used

Austenitic stainless steels offer excellent corrosion resistance, formability, and weldability, with non-magnetic or weakly magnetic properties. They are the most commonly used type in both civilian and industrial applications.

  • 304 (06Cr19Ni10 / SUS304)‌: A general-purpose stainless steel containing 18% chromium and 8% nickel (known as “18/8” stainless), suitable for cutlery, kitchen equipment, architectural decoration, and food processing industries. The new Chinese standard designation is 06Cr19Ni10, and it remains one of the most prevalent stainless steels on the market.
  • 304L (022Cr19Ni10)‌: An ultra-low carbon version with enhanced resistance to intergranular corrosion, ideal for welded components.
  • 316 (06Cr17Ni12Mo2)‌: Molybdenum is added to significantly improve resistance to chloride corrosion, making it commonly used in marine environments, pharmaceutical equipment, and chemical containers. It is also known as “marine-grade stainless steel.”
  • 316L (022Cr17Ni12Mo2)‌: A low-carbon variant of 316 with superior corrosion resistance, suitable for high-demand applications such as nuclear energy systems and cryogenic storage tanks.
  • 301 (1Cr17Ni7)‌: Strength increases after cold working; used in springs and structural parts, and exhibits slight magnetism.
  • 321 (0Cr18Ni11Ti)‌: Titanium is added to prevent sensitization, making it suitable for high-temperature welded components.
  • 310S (06Cr25Ni20)‌: High chromium and nickel content provide excellent heat resistance up to 1150°C, used in furnace chambers, burners, and other high-temperature equipment.

Austenitic stainless steels account for over 70% of total stainless steel usage, with 304 and 316 being the most representative grades.

Other Common Grades

  • 201 (1Cr17Mn6Ni5N)‌: Manganese replaces nickel to reduce cost, used in decorative tubes and elevator panels, though with lower corrosion resistance than 304.
  • 303‌: Sulfur and phosphorus are added to improve machinability, making it suitable for automatic machining parts.
  • 309S, 310S‌: Exhibit excellent high-temperature performance, used in furnace components.
