Type 410
A 13% Chrome, 0.15% Carbon alloy possesing good ductility and corrosion
resistance. It can be easily forged and machined. Exhibits good cold working
properties.
Type 416
Similar to Type 410 but has added Sulphur giving improved machinability. Usually
supplied in bar form.
Type 431
A 17% Chrome, 2½% Nickel, 0.15% max Carbon stainless alloy. Has superior
corrosion resistance to types 410 & 416 due to the Nickel. Usually supplied in bar
form.
Type 430
A 17% Chrome, low alloy Ferritic steel. It has good corrosion resistant properties up
to about 800°C. Usually on used in strip and sheet form due to its poor
machinability.
Type 304
An economic balance of alloying materials. Excellent corrosion resistance in
unpolluted and freshwater environments, though not recommended for seawater.
Type 321
A variation of Type 304 with titanium added in proportion to the carbon content. This
improves its high temperature properties.
Type 347
Very similar to Type 321 but uses Niobium instead of Titanium.
Type 316
The addition of 2 - 3% Molybdenum in this grade gives increased corrosion
resistance in offshore environments, however it does pit when immersed in
seawater. A nickel content of 12% maintains the austenitic structure.
Type 317
Similar to 316 but the 3 - 4% Molybdenum gives increased pitting resistance when
immersed in cold seawater.
6 Moly
Or as it is more properly known - UNS S31254 - gives high resistance to sea water
attack due to high levels of Chromium and Molybdenum.
L Grades
Most austenitic grades can be provided as low carbon grades e.g. 316L where carbon
is restricted to 0.03 to 0.035%. This reduces the tensile strength.
UNS S31803
The most widely used grade of duplex and is typical of above description. Typical
composition is 0.03% max Carbon, 22% Cr, 5.5% Ni, 3% Mo and 0.15% N.
UNS S32304
A low alloy duplex with similar corrosion properties to type 316, but with
approximately double the tensile properties. Hence its primary use is in structures
where mechanical strength is important. Typical composition is 0.03% max Carbon,
23% Cr, 4% Ni and 0.1% N.
UNS S32750
A super duplex exhibiting enhanced corrosion resistance and mechanical properties.
Typical composition is 0.03% max Carbon, 25% Cr, 7% Ni, 4% Mo and 0.28% N.
