Stainless Steel We Forge
Below are the four grades of stainless steel we most commonly use for forging. For more material information, please contact us for details.
304 is not magnetic and is a standard austenitic stainless steel. It has a relatively low nickel content, around 8%, so the cost is also lower.
It is suitable for general-purpose forgings that are cost-sensitive, do not have high requirements for corrosive environment, and require good formability and weldability, such as flanges, valve bodies, pipe fittings, food processing equipment parts, building hardware, etc.
| Density (g/cm³) | Hardness (HB) | Yield Strength (MPa) | Tensile Strength (MPa) | Elongation (%) | Melting Range (°C) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 7.93 | ≤ 215 | ≥ 205 | ≥ 515 | ≥ 40 | 1400–1450 |
The main components of 316 are 16-18% Cr, 10-14% Ni, 2-3% Mo, which is a molybdenum-containing austenitic stainless steel. The addition of molybdenum greatly improves its corrosion resistance to acid and salt solutions.
It is suitable for forged parts that require higher corrosion resistance, especially those exposed to seawater or chemically corrosive environments, such as marine hardware, seawater treatment equipment, etc.
| Density (g/cm³) | Hardness (HB) | Yield Strength (MPa) | Tensile Strength (MPa) | Elongation (%) | Melting Range (°C) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 8.00 | ≤ 215 | ≥ 205 | ≥ 515 | ≥ 40 | 1375–1400 |
316Ti adds Ti to the composition of 316, which makes it have both the excellent corrosion resistance of 316 and the better high-temperature performance than 316. But the addition of titanium also makes it less malleable and surface quality than 316 or 304.
| Density (g/cm³) | Hardness (HB) | Yield Strength (MPa) | Tensile Strength (MPa) | Elongation (%) | Melting Range (°C) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 8.00 | ≤ 215 | ≥ 215 | ≥ 520 | ≥ 40 | 1375–1400 |
The main components of 318LN are 22% Cr, 5-6% Ni, 3% Mo, 0.15-0.20% N, which is a nitrogen-containing duplex stainless steel with both austenite and ferrite. Its yield strength is about twice that of 304/316, and it has extremely high resistance to chloride ion corrosion and stress corrosion. But forging is more difficult, and the cost is higher than that of 304/316.
| Density (g/cm³) | Hardness (HB) | Yield Strength (MPa) | Tensile Strength (MPa) | Elongation (%) | Melting Range (°C) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 7.80 | ≤ 290 | ≥ 450 | ≥ 620 | ≥ 25 | 1380–1440 |
