Type 301 is an austenitic stainless steel with a composition of 17% chromium and 7% nickel. Its resistance to atmosphere corrosion and its bright surface finish make it an excellent choice for decorative structural applications. Kitchen equipment, automotive components, wheel covers, conveyor belts, hose clamps, springs, truck and trailer bodies, railway and subway cars are some of the major applications for the versatile grade. Type 301 is resistant to a variety of corrosive media. However, the corrosion properties are not as good as 18-8 chromium-nickel steels. Its susceptibility to carbide precipitation during welding restricts its use in some applications.

Type 304 stainless steels are variations of 18% chromium and 8% nickel austenitic alloy. They are the most familiar and used alloy in the stainless steel family and represent nearly half of the total U.S. stainless steel production. These alloys are used in a wide variety of applications including food and beverage equipment, sanitary, cryogenic, and medical. They represent an excellent combination of corrosion resistance and ease of fabrication because of some of the important properties, i.e. high strength with low weight, resistance to oxidation, ease of cleaning, beauty of appearance, prevention of product contamination, good strength and toughness at cryogenic ...
(30) 316 stainless steel is more resistant to general corrosion and pitting/crevice corrosion than the conventional chromium-nickel austenitic stainless steels. This alloy offers higher creep, stress-to-rupture and tensile strength at elevated temperatures. These alloys also provide excellent fabricability and formability, which are typical of the austenitic stainless steels.
Hardness: C40-C45 Rockwell
Market Applications: Food preparation and storage, Brewery and other beverage industries, Pharmaceutical and Bioprocessing industries, Marine, and Architecture.
(30) Type 430 is a low carbon ferritic stainless steel which, in mildly corrosive environments or atmospheric exposures, has corrosion resistance approaching that of some nickel-bearing stainless steels. This alloy is oxidation resistant at elevated temperatures. Type 430 is ductile, does not work harden readily, and can be formed using a variety of roll forming or mild stretch bending operations as well as the more common drawing and bending processes.
(12) 17-4 Precipitation Hardening Alloy (S17400), Type 630, is a chromium-nickel-copper precipitation hardening stainless steel used for applications requiring high strength and moderate level of corrosion resistance. High strength is maintained to approximately 600ºF (316ºC). The corrosion resistance of 17-4 Precipitation Hardening Alloy is comparable to that of Type 304 stainless steel in most media. In general, the corrosion resistance of 17-4 alloy is superior to that of the hardenable 400 series stainless steels.
