Grade 420 Martensitic stainless steel

Corrosion Resistance: Type 420 is a martensitic Stainless steel and as the name suggests it stains very less as compared to other iron-based metals as stainless steel contains a heavy… Read more

Why is stainless steel popular in Pharmaceutical Industry?

Pharmaceutical industry is governed by strict regulatory norms. With time these norms have just got stringent. In order to comply with the regulations, high performance alloys containing chromium, nickel, molybdenum… Read more

AISI 304 Stainless Steel – One Of The Most Versatile Grades In Stainless Steel

Introduction Stainless steel contain Chromium as the principle alloying element other than ferrous. Chromium in the presence of oxygen forms a thin layer around the metal, thus shielding it from… Read more

Ferritic Stainless Steel Uses, Applications & Properties

 Ferritic Stainless Steels are magnetic in nature and have BCC (body centred cubic ) lattice structure. They have high chromium (10.5-27 % by wt.) and low carbon (0.03-0.12 % by… Read more

Duplex, no more a Perplex

Stainless steels are preferred for their superior corrosion resistance. Its derivatives are formed by altering composition of the various alloying elements. They are broadly divided into- austenitic, ferritic, martensitic, duplex… Read more
