Stainless Steel Materials used for Machining

Hits:

  • SUS 303:

    • Nuts and Bolts, Bushings, Shafts, Aircraft Fittings, Gears.

    • Electrical Switchgear Components.

    • In general any component that is heavily machined and where the corrosion resistance and fabrication properties of 303 are viable.

  • SUS 304:

    • Food processing equipment, particularly in beer brewing, milk processing & wine making.

    • Kitchen benches, sinks, troughs, equipment and appliances.

    • Architectural panelling, railings & trim.

    • Chemical containers, including for transport.

    • Heat Exchangers.

    • Woven or welded screens for mining, quarrying & water filtration.

    • Threaded fasteners, Springs.

  • SUS 316:

    • Food preparation equipment particularly in chloride environments.

    • Laboratory benches & equipment, Threaded fasteners, Springs.

    • Coastal architectural panelling, railings & trim.

    • Boat fittings, Chemical containers, including for transport.

    • Heat Exchangers, Woven or welded screens for mining, quarrying & water filtration.

    • 316Higher resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion is required, in chloride environments. A lower machining ability can be accepted.

  • SUS 416:

    • Valve Parts, Pump Shafts, Automatic Screw Machined Parts.

    • Motor Shafts, Washing Machine Components.

    • Bolts and Nuts, Studs, Gears.

    • Even higher machining ability than 303 is needed, and a lower corrosion resistance can be tolerated. Or hardening by thermal treatment is required, while maintaining a high machining ability.
