Stainless steel is an iron-based alloy containing at least 10.5% chromium. They achieve their stainless steel properties by forming an invisible and attached chromium rich oxide film. Alloy 316 is a universal austenitic stainless steel with face centered cubic structure. It is basically nonmagnetic in the annealed state and can only be hardened by cold work.
Stainless steel austenite 1.4401 is mainly used in chemical industry, instrument engineering, pulp industry and food industry.
Austenitic stainless steel 1.4404 (316L) has good acid resistance. Material 1.4404 (316L) is used in chemical industry, instrument engineering and sewage treatment plant.
Stainless steel austenite 1.4435 is mainly used in pulp industry and textile industry.
