Stainless & Specialty Steel

Ferritic (Chromium) grades are magnetic, non-nickel bearing alloys that have greater inherent strength and corrosion resistance than carbon steel. Austenitic (Chromium-Nickel) grades were developed for enhanced surface quality and formability and increased corrosion and wear resistance. Duplex grades are alloys that are partially ferritic and partially austenitic, giving them a combination of properties that is often superior to that of single phase alloys. Martensitic and Precipitation Hardened alloys are typically used in applications requiring very high strength.
