This grade of austenitic stainless steel has less chromium and nickel
than 302/304, and hence will provide valuable mechanical properties
through cold-working. It is frequently supplied in high tensile tempers,
e.g. quarter-hard, half-hard, etc.
Applications: Structural parts where a corrosion resisting steel is
required, and where higher strength characteristics are required than
exist in the standard annealed metal.
Corrosion Resistance: The corrosion resisting properties of Type 301
are comparable to those of Types 302 and 304.

Type 309 is a high chromium and nickel content stainless steel that
has excellent corrosion resistance as well as high creep strength and
mechanical properties at elevated temperatures and excellent
oxidation resistance at temperatures up to approximately 2000 Deg. F.
Applications: Used primarily for high temperature structural
applications where good strength and resistance to oxidation at
elevated temperatures are required. Uses include furnace parts such
as dampers, baffle plates, supports, and fixtures. It is also used in
chemical plant equipmentfor handling of acids, sulfite liquors, etc.
Corrosion Resistance: Type 309 has better corrosion resistance than
Type 304, and for resistance to specific corrosive media may be
compared to Type 304.
Resistance To Scaling: Excellent scale resistance at temperatures up
to 2O00 Deg. F for continuous service, up to 1800 Deg. F for
intermittent service.

Type 310, With high chromium and nickel content, has the greatest
heat resisting properties of the more commonly used stainless steels.
It has high creep strength and mechanical properties and does not
become brittle at elevated temperatures. It is non-magnetic in the
annealed condition and not hardenable by heat treatment.
Applications: Used primarily where high heat resisting properties are
required, such as for the more critical parts in oil refining equipment,
oil burners, furnace's, heat exchangers, etc. In the aircraft industry,
Type 310 is used for parts requiring welding during fabrication, or
oxidation resistance up to about 2O00 Deg. F. Useful at higher
temperatures only when stresses are low.
Corrosion Resistance: Type 310 has excellent corrosion resistance,
which is at a maximum in the annealed condition. Its resistance to
specific chemical media may be compared to that of Type 304.
Resistance To Scaling: Excellent scale resistance at temperatures up
to 2O00 Deg. F in continuous service. In comparison with the other
chromium-nickel grades this type has a slightly lower coefficient of
expansion, which results in less tendency to warp.
Weldability: Easily welded by all the commercial processes except
forge or hammer welding. Annealing after welding is recommended in
order to obtain maximum corrosion resistance.

Type 316L is a very low carbon grade with general corrosion resistance
similar to Type 316, but with superior resistance to intergranular
corrosion during welding or stress relieving. This precludes any
harmful carbide precipitation in the 800 to 1500 Deg. F range, such as
might otherwise occur in welding heavy sections.
Applications: Same as those for Type 316. All other physical
characteristics and applications are similar or equivalent to regular
Type 316.

Type 446 is a corrosion and heat resisting chromium steel with the
maximum amount of chromium in this series of steel and is used
principally for the manufacture of parts which must resist scaling at
high temperatures. Type 446 resists destructive scaling up to a
temperature of 2000 Deg. F. Type 446 is magnetic in all conditions.
