300 Series Stainless Steel

  • 304 304L cold rolled stainless steel coil is widely used in household products (1,2 tableware), cabinets, indoor pipelines, water heaters, boilers, bathtubs, auto parts, medical equipment, building materials, chemicals, food industry, agriculture, and ship parts.
  • 316 cold rolled stainless steel with good welding performance. All standard welding methods can be used for welding. Welding can be used according to the purpose, respectively 316Cb, 316L, or 309Cb stainless steel filler rods or welding electrodes. We look forward to you choosing us as your 2B 316l/316 stainless steel coil distributor.
  • 316ti cold rolled stainless steel coil is an expensive material, but customers have very high surface quality requirements. The stainless steel sheet inevitably produces various defects during the production process, such as scratches, pitting, sand holes, dark lines, creases, and contamination, so that the surface quality, such as scratches, creases, etc., are high-quality materials. It is not allowed. The pits, holes, and holes are not allowed in spoons, spoons, and forks.
  • Mainly used for materials other than DDQ applications. This 304 ddq stainless steel material is characterized by relatively low elongation (≧45%), relatively high hardness (≦180HB), and an internal grain size grade of 8.0~9.0. Compared with DDQ material, its deep drawing performance is relatively poor.
  • The 301 cold rolled stainless steel is a metastable austenitic stainless steel and has a fully austenitic structure under full solution conditions. Among the stainless steels, 301 is the steel that is most easily deformed by cold deformation.
  • 310 stainless steel (domestic name: 0Cr25Ni20): Austenitic steel with good oxidation resistance, processability and welding performance. Due to high nickel content and relatively stable tissue, it is generally treated by solid solution. High temperature resistance.
  • 304L stainless steel prices are higher than 304 stainless steel, 304L stainless steel is low carbon stainless steel, mainly for the welding process. Contact us for the hot rolled 304l/304 stainless steel coil price!
  • 316l steel is a molybdenum-containing stainless steel. Due to the molybdenum content in the steel, the overall performance of the 316L stainless steel is better than that of 310 and 304 stainless steel. Under the condition of high temperature, 316L stainless steel has a wide range of usage.
  • Huaxiao Metal is one of the trusted 310s 310 stainless steel sheet suppliers in China. Fabrication grades 310/310S are forged in the temperature range of 975 - 1175°C.

Simple Comparison Between 300 Series and 400 Series Stainless Steel

Stainless steel is divided into different series, 300 series and 400 series are two common series, each with different characteristics and application areas. The following is a simple comparison of these two series of stainless steel:

1. Composition

300 series (austenitic type)

  • Main alloying elements: chromium (Cr) and nickel (Ni)
  • Typical examples: 304, 316, 301
  • Features: Contains a higher proportion of nickel, which makes it have good corrosion resistance and excellent plasticity.

400 series (ferritic or martensitic type)

  • Main alloying elements: mainly chromium (Cr), almost no or a small amount of nickel
  • Typical examples: 410, 430, 420
  • Features: The chromium content is high, but the nickel content is low, usually with lower corrosion resistance, but higher hardness and strength.

2. Corrosion Resistance

  • 300 series: Due to the addition of nickel, 300 series stainless steel has excellent corrosion resistance and can resist the erosion of various chemical media.
  • 400 series: poor corrosion resistance, mainly suitable for applications that do not require high corrosion resistance. Some high-chromium ferritic stainless steels such as 430 have moderate corrosion resistance but are not as good as the 300 series.

3. Mechanical Properties

  • 300 series: generally have good toughness and ductility, suitable for applications that need to be processed into complex shapes. For example, the 304 series has high toughness and strength at room temperature.
  • 400 series: have high hardness and strength, especially martensitic stainless steels such as 410 and 420, but poor toughness and ductility.

4. Magnetism

  • 300 series: most 300 series stainless steels are non-magnetic (especially 304 and 316), and are not easily magnetized even after cold working.
  • 400 series: most 400 series stainless steels are magnetic, especially ferritic and martensitic stainless steels.

5. Main application areas

300 series:

  • 304: widely used in food processing, chemical processing equipment, architectural decoration, etc.
  • 316: Used in environments requiring high corrosion resistance such as chemical equipment, marine equipment, and medical equipment.
  • 301: Commonly used in springs, automotive parts, and other applications that require high strength.

400 Series:

  • 410: Suitable for applications that require high hardness and wear resistance, such as knives, valves, and pump parts.
  • 430: Commonly used in automotive decoration, home appliance housings, kitchen equipment, and other applications that do not require extremely high corrosion resistance.
  • 420: Commonly used in the manufacture of tools such as knives and scissors that require sharpness and wear resistance.

6. Processing and Welding

  • 300 Series: Due to good plasticity and weldability, 300 Series stainless steel is suitable for a variety of processing methods, including welding and forming.
  • 400 Series: Poor processing and weldability, especially martensitic stainless steel. Some ferritic stainless steels require special attention when welding to avoid hardening and brittleness.
